She went down to Dallas for the training but was disqualified eventually being she was 5'2" and five pounds over the ideal weight. My friend got a much neater body without wide-body hips as that lady that struck me.
which airline was this? I think most of thr western airlines that are unionized don't have age, weight etc restrictions. AC has a lot of fat and old ones.. I've had my feet stepped on, rolled over, etc.. and my head got hit by something once.. whilst i was sleeping.. Aisle seats can be quite dangerous..
