What is wrong with you lot ?

The lady in question does not have a valid medical so she cannot fly.

If I (temporarily) invalidated my medical by getting p*ssed out of my skull would I get suspended on full pay ?

Gender discrimination doesn't come into it. The restriction on flying when pregnant applies equally to all pilots, male AND female.

Or - to make a more serious point: a lot of people fail to get a Class 1 medical because of colour vision defects. This is genetically linked and affects males far more than females - so can we now sue for human rights and discrimination ??? And this is permanent - the lady is only grounded for a few weeks, for heaven's sake !
