Trying to slim down its spending, an Indian carrier vows to accept only female crew members because they weigh less.
Applicants wanting a job at GoAir, an Indian airline, face a new requirement: women only, please.
Men are out of luck, given management's plan to pare spending on fuel by hiring only female flight attendants, who on average weigh less than their male counterparts, the Times of India reports.
The decision is expected to save GoAir as much as 30 million rupees per year, or about $500,000. At issue is the decline in the Indian currency, which has slumped about 26% against the U.S. dollar in in the past two years.
