I think it's interesting that if you are over 50, a male, and one other malady, such as high blood pressure, you are considered high risk. Two of the three can't be corrected. I thought high blood pressure was accepted if controlled by medication, now they link it to osa. In many situations, high BP can be linked to genetics, or can be hereditary, and nothing to do with weight.
I have no problem with the faa requiring osa being treated, but the witch-hunt style of detecting it will be costly, burdensome, and ineffective since osa can occur in individuals that are normal weight and neck size. Also the path back to the cockpit needs to be expidited. In addition every ATC, faa, tsa, A&P employee need to be screened as well and not be exempted from the process as these positions are of a safety sensitive nature as well.
Where the duck is ALPA, NBAA, and AOPA??
