Pilot's sex discrimination case.

I’m not a great fan of the relentless links to vaguely-aviation related articles that we sometimes have on here but I do think that THIS is a cause worth highlighting.

We all know that flying professionally can put a difficult enough strain on family life and so one can only begin to imagine the difficulties that being a professional pilot and a working mother must cause.

I, for one, feel that as an industry we should be doing more to accommodate the needs of our colleagues who for reasons such as being a working parent or say, looking after a sick relative, wish to go part time for a while; and to that end, I wish this young lady all of the very best with her appeal.
