To all concerned,
It is funny to read some of the comments that you British pilots make. Be advised that in the Netherlands everyone is entiteled to part-time jobs. So at KLM we have pilots that fly 80%, 67% and even 50%. (The pay is according to the % that you fly) This applies to both genders. There are also rules in place that pregnant women are banned from flying during certain periods of the pregnancy and then they also get a long maternity leave. So what is your problem with your union trying to get some decent rules for your female pilots?
