"Picking on a female captain with a young baby"
Why, in this day and age, should her gender be relevant.
Should she expect (or even want?) to be treated differently (better?) than her male colleagues, in a similar situation?
We're all paid the same these days you know!
I wouldn't be too surprised to hear that she would have preferred her gender, and personal circumstances to be kept out of the equation, and certainly out of a public forum. Who was it that introduced this information? (Tinytim?)
The inferrence MAY be taken that she was too tired to be reporting for a 4 sector day. Period. If she was able to tell crew control only HALFWAY through that day, that she would not be fit to exercise ANY discretion later, perhaps she was pushing the safety margins to begin with!
That's where I find this story to be a little unusual.
And if RE is familiar with what goes on, I think he would be dissappointed if his managers did NOT look into these circumstances.
As an aside, in the present economic situation, I would have thought that a thread entitled "Trouble brewing at BACX" probably WOULD attract Rod's attention. But it may not be just management that suffer from this dirty washing!
