I think if a female pilot chooses a career in aviation, she should consider her options for bearing children very carefully. Gain some core experience, take a career break then return full time, don't try and juggle the two and remain in a twilight world of minimal experience and currency.

I do not want to think that my wife and son may be flying behind someone who has just returned from a part time break with low experience and currency and then have the Skipper keel over and leave the shop to her.

This is not a move forward, there are still areas that require careful thought wrt rights etc. We are now talking a potential flight safety hazard
