For every measure there a countermeasure.

Where's the thread entitled Does anyone know who the just fog a mirror flt docs are?

The girlfriend. She will just gently nudge you to break the snoring. The wife will punch hard. :)

I think they could probably get away with if your BMI is >= 25 you get tested for body fat and that there is a body fat % where your medical is lost or probation.

But, your health as it relates to weight (BMI) has nothing to do with what the FAA is up to here. It's not about weight.

Have we gotten to the point of the thread yet where everyone over 35 BMI claims to be an Olympic weight lifter?

BMI may just be the vehicle to rid the US airline industry of old grumpy frumpy cat ranchers and burt reynolds gussetted FA's:D

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?

If anyone is interested in looking at a nutritional system to knock off a few pounds and get your numbers down please PM me. I've lost 20 pounds this past year on it and it's very convenient to travel with. Just here to help and support. I know it's easy to just say stop eating the junk and exercise more and there is a way to add some better nutrition too without breaking the bank on expensive airport salads.

Given what I've seen of Singapore Airlines, we'll never get there. :D

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.

Actually, what a sales-based troll typically does is show up out of the blue with a new account and post misinformation, half-truths and links to a website riddled with more self-serving sales talk based on scare tactics and innuendo.

The sales pitch, scare tactics and strained interpretations all lead the reader to a single career-saving solution: buy what the troll is selling.

Sound familiar?

Here's my issue with this.

Has ther ever been a documented case where OSA has been linked to a incident.

Fatigue? Yes I'm sure, but was OSA identified as the culprit? If no, then why focus on this? Aren't there more important health issues to tackle?

I could see a focus on cardiac issues or focus on high blood pressure, but it seems someone at the FAA had a pilot with OSA boning his wife.

Or someone's in a boning relationship with someone selling an app?
