Maybe then we can compete with foreign carriers on service!
One can only hope they use it on FA's too, have you seen the size of necks on some of them?
Given what I've seen of Singapore Airlines, we'll never get there.
What does stink now that I think about it was I flew with two pilots over the last month, both single seat fighter guys at one point in their lives. Both are > 63 years old. One was overweight yet awesome in every aspect of airline Captaining, the other was the exact opposite in every single way. The first would be removed on a BMI test the second wouldn't, yet the skinny one required the temp in the cockpit to be 85. I think he had circulation issues. But that's not tested.
Again the FAA isn't after you having a health weight, that's not even a part of this OSA thing.
