. Politically correct? Perhaps in your opinion, but this case was just the first that came to bat in an employers refusal to offer adequate right-to-request part time working to an employee. It had significant positive benefits for any pilot in that company, both male and female
Could you please enlighten me, how/where have we seen
significant positive benefits for any pilot in that company, both male and female
?

If you do not have the right to request, has that improved one's ability to get part-time? (not including the new work coverage agreement)


That'll be BALPA the British Airline Pilots Association, not the British Flying Instructors Association? Flying a C152 around with a student is not airline flying and is beyond BALPAs remit
So are you by implication saying BALPA is an elitist organisation? Only feed thy king for others are not deemed worthy. A very sad view in my opinion. Balpa's strength is in it's number's across the entire 'board' and it matters not if it's an airline pilot or instructor pilot.

And in answer to the question, it thinks of itself as a union but really it's a flying club
