Yes. Nevertheless, I seem to recall Bruce warning about precisely this reaction. (If not here, then on the Red Board.)Politicians pushing an agenda.
I just don't like to see more governmental overreaching. In particular, I'm wary about government scrutiny of populations based on risk factors for as-yet undiagnosed conditions. That's a slippery slope that could lead to a lot more probing into our medical histories than already happens.
And that is what I see; more government over-reach. It's all about control of the masses folks. Chip away a bit here and there and eventually tey control your life from cradle to grave.
Sorry fatties you are a higher risk to yourself and everyone else. Meh about more rules but I'd rather give slack to the guy with a DUI or two and give more scrutiny to overweights. Everything bad correlates with being fat.
Sorry but there is no such fairy as healthy fat. Go read up on any random dreaded disease and excess weight will almost always be an increased risk factor. The good doc once said all his SI cases were overweight, all of them. Live how you want, doesn't bother us beautiful people, doesn't lower your risk factors either.Actually, no, but thanks for do showing why we hate you skinny little pricks so much.

Yes, it's about "safety sensitive positions" in trains, but if it happens for them there will surely be pressure to do it in aviation. 17" neck measurement....
People with sleep apnea, they fall asleep at stoplights, they fall asleep at meetings during the day," Belenky said. "They'll deny any sleepiness and nod off right in front of you."
That may be true for extreme cases, but OSA isn't binary, it's analog. You can have a little bit or a lot of OSA.
44 years old 158 lbs this morning, 5' 10". Old doesn't have to mean fat. The fate you accept is the fate you get.Greg, your use of the non-word "meh" indicates you are on the younger and healthier side of 40, which is a good thing for the long term viability of recreational GA. However, there is a natural tendency to gain weight as one ages due to reduced metabolism and mobility etc. which can't entirely be controlled by willpower. You may not believe it but that's OK, son.
Your arrogance and preference for sweeping generalizations undermine your credibility, at least among grownups, so you might want to tone it down a bit.
Settling a threshold for classification is an example of artificially converting an analog phenomenon into a binary representation. It doesn't make the binary representation reality.

It bothers me when people hide behind unreg to slam like this.
