Question Weight and BMI pertaining foreign airlines

Hi

I have read on different occasions on this forum that Asian airlines are concerned about weight and BMI of potential candidate. Is it true that Emirates wants their pilot to be under 85 Kg in weight? I did not find anything referring to weight in their website so can someone please chime in who knows?

I understand that pilots need to be presentable and height and weight proportion; but what if someone is buff with muscles and weighs more than 85 Kg?

Going through the forum, "Korupilot" mentioned in one of the posts that Korean Airlines and other Asian airlines would want to see their potential pilots under 30 BMI; can someone working as a pilot in Korean or other Asian Airlines tell their experience?

Thank you
