KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB) has been accused of sacking several flight attendants for being overweight. The National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam) today claimed that a ‘first wave’ of termination has already seen five flight attendants - three men and two women, all above 50 - sacked for being overweight. It is unfair and cruel to the cabin crew,” he told the New Straits Times. Nufam earlier today held a press conference, where a copy of the termination letter was shown to the media. Malaysia Airlines last night, when asked for comment on the matter, stated that it will not discuss issues involving its employees publicly.
