I had a similar experience.

At 19, I applied to AA to be a "stewardess." Somehow, I made it to a personal interview.

I was 5' 6" & 135. I was told that I was too heavy, but she added, "Those are slim aisles and we need slim girls."

I never forgot those words! It was a terrible blow to my young ego

I am 5'6 1/2"... thirty five pounds is considered an ideal weight for someone that height. I can well imagine you felt put down, sorry you had to experience that.

That's cool that your husband is a pilot! Tell him I trust flying more than driving on the bypass, because I trust pilots more than people blabbing on cellphones not watching the road. I joke about this all the time, but its true. My husband will not fly because sadly his best friend was killed in a plane crash in NY years back. I try to tell him pilots are trained and safe (to no avail, he wont get in a plane). I haven't flown in awhile, just because of health issues and having to go through all the checks now days and waiting in long lines.
