In regards to Pregnancy. Health factors are some what obvious to any endocrinologist (someone who understands your internal chemical body's portfolio) Fact 100% of the time any women who is pregnant will go through great hormonal changes. With this in mind therefore all pregnant women F/A's and Pilot's are subject to changes that can be the whole range from simple fatigue to illness and ANY ONE FLYING ON LONG HALL AND CLOSE TO THE POLES IS RISKING THE HEALTH AND POSSIBLE MISSCARAGE.
NOW FOR FACT UNITED AIRLINES POLICY IS 31 weeks and thats for F/A and Pilot's. Just picture an inflight emergency with a level of pregnant Pilot or F/A that would refuse a paying passenger in the same condition.
Why because F/A's are not protected from being thrown on the streets. If the only reason a mother to be. Is desparate to work not knowing or at least having the personal doubts and hightened stress is BECAUSE THEY ARE SENT TO THE WELFARE ROLES. United Airlines Policy is when pregnant at the 27th now changed to 31st week employee is by the company to stop working and they may collect unemployment in there state. In the USA this amounts any where from 150.00 to 350.00 a week. Not like some other country's Say in Europe where women have Maternity protections under the law. Fact again according to official record with OECD and ILO the United States has no Maternity protections at all. Airlines years back would fire women for marriage. NOW THE COMPANY JUST FIRES THEM TEMPORARILY FOR CHOOSING TO BE MOTHERS. If your not paid and your wealthy your family or family to be suffers.
NEWS FLASH UNITED AIRLINES USES THE SAME POLICY INTERNATIONALY. YES THEY SEND THERE EMPLOYEE's INTERNATIONALY BASED TO FRAUDULENTLY APPLY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. THIS IS IN VIOLATION OF US FED LAW AND STATE LAW OF ILLINOIS BECAUSE UAL CLAIMS ALL OF THERE F/A's WORK ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES. EVEN IF THOSE INTERNATIONALY BASED EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO LIVE IN THOSE OTHER COUNTRY'S. SO THOSE POOR AMERICAN'S BASED IN LETS SAY ANY WHERE UAL HAS A BASE EG: FRANCE,ENGLAND,GERMANY HIT THE STREET WITH ZERO BECAUSE ITS AGAINST UNEMPLOYMENT LAW AND UAL REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE ANY OF THE COUNTRY'S LAWS ACCEPT THE USA'S.
This is not a crazy rant it is all true and UAL has been in the courts in England, France,and Germany alway's stating direct lies to the court that UAL has no real bases in those countries. SO IF YOU ARE US AIR OR UNITED F/A AND thinking of being a mother or have a growing family. THINK AGAIN ABOUT YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS BECAUSE UAL WILL VIOLATE THEM FOR A BUCK. THEY ALSO RETALIATE AGAINST EMPLOYEES OR DIRECTLY BLOCK THERE FINANCIAL WELFARE RIGHTS IN THOSE COUNTRIES NOING FULL WELL. THAT EMPLOYEE and or family's will be hurt. CALL THE AFA OR CHICAGO TRIBUNE TO VERIFY.
Maternity Health is one of the most deliberatly abused catagories in American Aviation. PASS THIS ON TO ALL US AIR AND UAL AND OTHERS. SIGNED Stan Smith.
