Maybe that's the hard part, making money while complaining about working. LoL. I'm pretty sure the goal of most individuals is to make the most money, while working the least number of hours possible.
Outside of the flying biz, it took me 4 years to move from my $55k/yr starting salary to a $70k/yr salary. I recently got a promotion, so i'm finally in the $80k/yr range, but as stated, that took me 4 years and included a competitive promotion.

... Just pointing out the obvious. I love what I do though, so I guess that counts for something...

It's only intimidation if you let it be, and they succeed. If they're paying for it, let them spend all that money. Part of the diagnosis is questioning. If if you've ever actually fallen asleep in the cockpit, or anywhere else for no reason then you might. If you answer the question, "I called in fatigued because I'm tired and might fall asleep." Then you're clear. Just say, "I'm making sure that I'm properly rested."
I know that in europe, pilots having sleep apnea are simply sleeping with a CPAP machine prescribed by a doctor and still flying the line.
How does the FAA handle this? Anyone having a first class medical after being apnea-diagnosed?
