Being a mum and working as an airlines pilot seems pretty tough to me,
So perhaps there is a choice to be made here. Airline pliot or mum or mum with less demanding job. She cannot have her cake and eat it.
Where I work, there are a couple of guys with young kids. I have no malice towards these kids, but the rest of us are getting a little p*ssed off with continually having to take up the slack as one or other of these guys has a day off for doctor/dentist/little johnny's ill.
Now, she wanted to work 50%? But BA only accepted 75% ? (if I understood it right) Here's a tought...make both parents work 75%. that leaves equally amount of time for the kid and that was the reason for her to work 50%....wasn't it?
Spot on
