These should be the measurements of someone who is medically disabled. It should not be the new cut-off for a red dress. If I see a size 28 in the future, I will throw up on them and say, "I am sorry, but you are such a flabby pig and I couldn't keep down my lunch......but for "safety" reasons you better clean that up!"

NWA FAs?
 

I assume this is what you were talking about?

NWA flight attendants challenge uniform sizes - News- msnbc.com

As a typical guy I have no clue about dress sizes, so I asked my wife if she was a size 28...........

I woke up a few minutes later with her size 2 handprint across my face and her telling me they dont make size 28 dresses.

You can say she got it AAAAALLLLLLL!

Oh man I hope you are joking....lets just say a 64 in tall 130 lb girl is usually a size 6 sometimes a size 8 depending on brand - which is actually considered a societal average for women. Size 28 is large, very large. Size 18 is large - you would not find it in the normal ladies section at your local department store - to put it in perspective.
Making the discussion about the dress is hiding the real issue: I would argue a size 28 woman cannot be there for safety because her ability to fit in the aisle is questionable, let alone her ability to use an over-the-wing exit.

All joking aside, how wide would the hips be on a lady who wears a size 28?

Could she even walk down the isle without turning sideways?

I seriously, seriously doubt it.

I've seen some BIG flight attendants in my day, but I've never seen one that size.

This makes me sick. Just another major problem with America. Fat people are lazy, pure and simple. Could you imagine a pilot who was the same size being able to pass a medical? FA's should have the same standards.

thats not even close to an acceptable slump-buster.

when will people take more pride in their appearance and health?
