At Eagle we had to be at least 5'0", but no taller than 5'10". We were measured (and weighed!) at the interview. (No more weight checks during interviews nowdays though

)

So they don't weigh interviewees anymore...I presume there's still an "eyeball assessment" of avoirdupois, no? Or is that ADA-incompatible, too? As someone who's still workin' on a spare tire, it's a concern. Knowledge, skills and experience I can take care of, age and gut are a little trickier. Having been on the hefty side all my life, I'm well aware of the ugly side of weight discrimination and am curious as to the experiences of others along these lines pertaining to airline hiring.
