New Delhi: This the final call for all overweight air-hostesses with the Indian Airlines — cut the flab or else be ready to be grounded.Hopes of a legal reprieve for air hostesses crossing the weight limit, crashed on Wednesday with the Delhi High Court upholding the airlines’ policy to ground such crew.Five air-hostesses, who were grounded for putting on excessive weight moved the court against the airlines alleging that the action was arbitrary and illegal.Dismissing their petition, a bench headed by Justice A K Sikri held “there is no unreasonableness or arbitrariness” in the airlines’ decision.The court had on May 5 reserved it’s judgment on a bunch of petitions of Indian Airlines’ air-hostesses challenging their grounding for being overweight.
