These types of cases will continue to arise until the RAF finally addresses the sexist views of a high proportion of its staff. You only need to read some of the sexist drivel on this thread to see that.
Finally how many of the 130 air officers are female? 2-3... At £16K they got away lightly
'Sexist'...or realist?
Maybe all the other women who may have been capable of achieving Air Rank left to have kids and didn't want to continue their careers?
Consider factors like that before filling the thread with ZANU-Labour wailings about 'sexism'. (You're not Harriet Harperson are you?)
The facts remain: she got pregnant, was ordered out of an Op theatre, didn't like being told what was best for her, and used the system to steal nearly 6 months net salary (SO3).
