In Australia, pregnant cabin crew are permitted to continue flying up until 28 weeks. However for longhaul flying I believe the confinement is from 16 weeks.
If you do not wish to continue flying you can start maternity leave as soon as your pregnancy is confirmed, however there is no pay whatsoever during maternity leave. You can apply for ground duties but it is not guaranteed, and I believe difficult to get.
I would be very interested in any information regarding new studies/information on the hazards of flying during pregnancy. Also whether cabin crew in other countries are entitled to any salary whilst on maternity leave.
Thanks Lara....
