No pilot can stay at any hotel that does not have totally soundproof rooms so that they get undisturbed sleep.
No pilot should be permitted to consume alcohol because it's been proven to disrupt your sleep. All pilots will be required to take antabuse.
Ah, the Big Brother silliness. George Orwell was just a couple of decades too early. I'm trying to shop for a top loading washer - thanks to .gov regulations, it's impossible to find one that gets your clothes clean. Thanks, Big Brother.
More regulations to fix nonexistent problems is always a good idea. In a totalitarian society. And anyone who favors this OSA silliness is getting the government that they deserve.
"Work is the only place I can get any sleep."
Prior to kids I slept 7-8 hours per night, could go longer. Then kids. 3 hours of interrupted sleep was a dream that was flat out unachievable for almost 4 years. Now I wake up ready to go after 6 hours whether I am at home or on the road.
Maybe you shouldn't be allowed to have kids and fly. Maybe you just shouldn't be allowed to fly ever,for any reason, it's just not safe.
