Hostesses sacked for being fat
India's State-run carrier Air India sacked 10 air hostesses for being "exceptionally overweight", a spokesman said yesterday.
The staff had been grounded for years and were sacked after a medical board declared them unfit for duty. The airline says they were given ample opportunity to shed weight.
