I wasn't talking about looks, but about prohibiting the morbidly obese. Extra weight means extra costs for a plane, and significantly higher difficulty moving around a plane. In short, because of their weight they are less able to perform their duties.

Qualifications should determine whether a person gets the job or not. Not looks, heritage, wealth, sex, race or religion. Period.
For certain jobs employers can discriminate on looks because of what's called 'customer bias' - in that customers don't want to see ugly people, so if you hire them they won't patronize your business. Mostly applies to places like Hooters.
