fat pilots

BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – According to a recent announcement from the Federal Aviation Administration, the FAA medical branch will now issue special requirements for overweight airline pilots to assure they are fit for flight. The FAA’s chief concern is that people who are overweight are more prone to a condition known as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a disorder that negatively impacts sleep and places the person at high risk for falling asleep without warning at any time of the day or night. National Geographic backed them, citing that predatory animals often take long naps after making a kill and having a large meal. The secondary concern of the FAA, is that chubby pilots often waddle into the cockpit with suitcase size lunchboxes filled with fast foods, that frequently does not leave enough room for the co-pilot and/or the navigator.
