Woodpecker – you bet!

Said female pilot claims to have "worked long and hard" to get where she is. Ehhh, obviously 2-3 years seems like an eternity to an immature 24-yr old!
Like Girl Flyday expressed on page 10 – any female lucky enough to be taken on by a major airline should be careful about birth-control. Most professionals in any area wait until their 30'ies to have offspring, to secure their careers first.
Too bad this gal never gave a thought to the fact that her egotistical action may contribute to a setback for the female participation in commercial aviation..
One thing she's got in common with the male pilots, though: No matter how competent you are regarding the flying bit, your private life may suck hopelessly.
Sounds like a poor spoilt brat, finally banging her head against the wall of reality.
Day/night care is possible to find, if you want to! As well as housing closer to airport.
Praise to all cabin crew managing childcare while flying the same rosters as pilots.
(Maybe she should have taken advice from some of them before going to court.)
Shame on me for thinking that the female part of aviation was finally getting ahead!
