The Tampa Bay Times reports that commercial pilot Bruce Alonso has filed a lawsuit alleging Champlain Enterprises will not accommodate his snoring disability.
Commercial pilot Bruce Alonso of Lutz suffers from a snoring problem.
His snoring is apparently severe enough, and perhaps loud enough, that he didn’t want to share a hotel room with anyone during training for a commuter airline, CommutAir.
But this week the 56-year-old filed suit against the airline in Hillsborough County circuit court saying Champlain Enterprises, the Vermont company that operates the airline, refused to accommodate what the suit said was the pilot’s disability.
The company is one of several that also fly under the name United Express.
So, if he does not have sleep apnea, tell him to get an anti-snoring oral appliance.
