at a previous airline, they had to fire a "plus" size FA when the FAA would not allow her to use a seat belt extension in the FA jumpseat. True story....... she also exceed the 180 lb. seat limit (was told by MX of that limit so I don't know if it was true or not).
Sad thing is that it has written lawsuit all over it. The manufacturer for not designing a heavy-duty seat, longer seatbelt, etc.
Require FAs to hold a valid medical, with appropriate height-to-weight ratio etc. like in the rest of the world.
