"Izzet Levi, head of a cabin attendants' association who was
among those grounded, told Haber Turk he must drop 10 kilos (22
pounds) to reach 96 kilos if he is to return to his post.

That's getting on for 17stone (233lb) currently.

I wonder if T.A. have a small steel container the staff have
to be able to fit through before they're allowed on the plane?
