overstress Only that most of us cope on the -400 as full timers with 4 to 8 sectors (typically) a month. A 50 % part timer with JS 's lack of experience (in flying aeroplanes, not childcare) may struggle to maintain recency/SA/handling ability. I would agree it is less of a problem on BA's shorthaul fleets. It would appear though. that now BA have very little say on setting minimum hours requirements on safety grounds. i.e JS can now transfer to the -400 with 1000 hours or whatever siting that she doesn't have the minimum requirements that BA set for the -400 because she was discriminated against as a "working mother looking after beautiful Beth"
