I am one of thousands of pilots with a special issue medical over sleep apnea. Yes, it’s stupid. But, the FAA has new procedures and a new form to report your usage. As of May 2026 your sleep therapy doctor has a shortened form to report your CPAP usage. One form instead of your entire years worth of data from your CPAP machine. That one form you take to your AME for upload to your FAA medical file. There are a few websites and official FAA website to obtain the new form. I just got this form signed off with sleep doctor I’d appreciate info from those who have submitted and your results. |

None of these health issues were around when my Dad was getting old, or my Grandpaw, or his Grandpa, ..... Maybe people are just unhealthy lazy overweight walruses. Go outside, get a hobby, do something strenuous for a change, take up windsurfing.....I promise you will sleep like a baby and won't need that BS. |

The condition has been around for a long time, you just didn’t have the internet to read about it. There are plenty folks that have it in various forms that are not overweight, out of shape walruses. |

Granted, we are NOT our grandparents, somewhat disparaging of us. Still, there are plenty of string beans that have sleep apnea. |

Yeah, they found evidence of cancer in dinosaurs and they used to institutionalized women for being hysterical after our child died. There wasn’t autism or learning disabilities, those kids were just called r*tards and tossed in a class together or abandoned to an orphanage. It’s always been there. We used to just hide it away or we didn’t know about it because science hadn’t discovered it yet. |

It seems to have been produced by someone special. Where you sit is where you stand. The seething anger underlying it is understandable. |

Just because you snore doesn't mean you have sleep apnea. |
