Wowowow
Let's put things right!
I am a female pilot, 757 skipper (and valued by my colleagues), 2 kids.
I would have liked to carry on working as long as possible whilst pregnant but:
1. My company wouldn't let me.
2. The local CAA wouldn't let me.
3. The doctor wouldn't let me.
4. I am not sure PAX would have been happy if the FO announced we are diverting due to captain giving birth.
So yes I took time off and my company and colleagues understand it.
The reason stated on my payslip was loss of medical class 1 which cannot be argued.
So all the idiots on this forum, go back to testosterone filled topics and let miss marple get some answers in peace.
Happy new year to all.
