A minimum height of 5 feet 2 inches for flight attendants is
discriminatory against women, Asians and Hispanics, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in St. Paul, against Northwest Airlines. The initial plaintiff is a Sri Lankan native who allegedly was denied a flight attendant job with Republic Airlines (now Northwest) in 1983 because she is 5 feet tall.
