I, like many others am fed up of people spouting on about their Human Rights. What about her moral obligation to get some time in and pay back her employer? Pilots are not office workers, and to compare us with them is pointless, if you want office terms and conditions you are in the wrong job.

If she had turned up for her cadetship selection interview and told them she wanted to have a kid and be 50% partime in a few years she would have been laughed at and shown the door.

She has got what she is entitled to, but as mentioned previously she has done a huge disservice to a great many female pilots who are trying to get their first job.
