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.
What a load of tosh. If someone passes an LPC and a line check, they can cope with the situation you describe. What you have posted is nonsense, better not let your wife & son fly as you never know who's on the other side of that door.
BusyB: What you allude to is in fact illegal in the UK - a part time worker cannot be disadvantaged for promotion compared to a full time one.
Once again the mention of this case exposes the petty jealousies and prejudices of some. Reading some of this stuff, you'd think this was a Victorian mill owners forum
