“BMI must be less than 30 on initial hire”

Chubby gingers need not apply.

They just posted again, guess we're just bunch of chubby dudes here on AvCanada, oh well...

[CL-Skadoo!]

Well, my thobe hides my curves and my BMI could be due to muscle mass. So they could miss out on a seriously good pilot

As much as it seems odd to us in North America, things like date of birth, photographs and a full report including height and weight are common in other parts of the world. Many companies ask this as a part of the application process.

you're right, but there is a difference between send your resume with your height and saying you cant be shorter than 178cm for this position... I guess approach is different overseas.

Seaplane...BMI under 30...come on! How am I supposed to float?!

[Noo]

I'm sure there are major North American airlines that consider appearance too. They just don't put in the job ad so everyone knows it. You did a video interview didn't you?

Keep in mind we are coming into the hot season. 45 to 50 degrees and fat bastards are a bad mix. As for a picture. Well you are hiring people sight unseen from a country where Blue hair dye, transgender and face piercings are common place.

This is non-sense...you can be short and BMI above 30 and still be “light” for aircraft ...lol
Working on fires I had a buddy on 212 (heli) who probably had a BMI above 40...a great driver and long line pilot

It's no secret that for some idiotic reason, certain cultures assume that you're a better pilot / teacher / doctor if you have blond hair, blue eyes and speak with an American accent...

Back to reality. I was looking to apply for a job overseas and one of their "boxes" to fill on the application was "Religion"...

I guess "ATHEIST" is not something they like. Needless to say, I stopped the application there, closed the browser, opened a beer and put on some good 80s music.

Haaaa the 80’s music! Belle Époque!
Gainsbourg, a-ha, U2, Depeche Mode, and i could name more. With some Kronenbourg! Or a good pastis

Don't like their ad/terms/conditions, don't apply....

But these millenials were told that the world owes them a job.Sorry kids, that shit don't fly everywhere in the world. If you feel the hiring practices are not fair to your sensitive or doughy side write a letter to His Highness Shiekh Mohammed bin Rashid AL Maktoum. Tell him mommy said you could have whatever you want.
