I've seen some pretty overweight looking pilots. I think it depends on the airline. I kind of get the impression that American won't let you in if you are as much as 1 pound overweight, even if its 1 pound of muscle. They seem to have a huge stick up their ass when it comes to medicals. As far as airlines in general I'm not sure.

Anyone know? I'm kind of curious about this subject myself.
