'Specialists' such as the OP will likely find 100% of 'fatties' have OSA. The FAA's going to take that information and continue to tighten the standards until 'specialists' like the OP have lined their pockets with every pilot's money. Because they're going to find that every single pilot has OSA, based on their screening criteria.
Exactly.
Oh and while we're at it, go to sleep in some perv's office while he watches you all night with a million wires and cameras hooked up to you knowing all the while that if you don't sleep perfectly it goes in your permanent record but hey, we have to keep our babies safe!
Idiots.
