overstress:
You can be forgiven for missing it, but in these myriad pages of generally excellent discussion (accusing people with a different opinion of 'ranting' excepted) it has been mentioned several times that .....
BA offered to help the couple with their alleged childcare difficulties by -
offering to allow Capt Starmer to change from his existing 75% contract to 50% if he wished - ahead of other captains who'd already applied for 50% and were waiting their turn
and
offering Mrs Starmer a 75% contract - ahead of more senior and more experienced FOs who'd already applied for 75% and were waiting their turn.
Both offers were rejected.
