put her on part time and fail her opc/lpc.
That assumes you can find a stooge of a trainer who would be willing to fail her unfairly. Not withstanding the fact that the Airbus trainers are generally a fine bunch of chaps, all the sims have the ability to record and print the flight paths of any particular detail. One would need specific reason to fail the detail and if the system shows the flight was flown in accordance with the required standards you'd be on something of a sticky wicket to fail her. Besides, failing an OPC/LPC certainly isn't grounds for dismissal as a very senior manager recently did just such.
Sack her and lets see how easy she finds getting a job from the wilds of Dorset as and when she stops having children.
BA need to send a strong message that they want 100% work from the workforce until they have more experience
Fortunately even the most hard line BA manager is rather more sophisticated in the industrial relations field than
thegypsy. The company are already getting hammered in the
PR arena over this case. A fairly blatant
"sack her and see if we care" attitude would result in a rapid end to any managers career. Corporate BA are actually quite a responsible employer. In the mean time BA are sending a strong message that they want 100% from the workforce regardless of experience. Part time contracts for any pilots are awarded sparingly with alacrity, and only because the law requires them to do so.
