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.
One suspects there is more to your situation than meets the proverbial eye then....or else, in such circumstances, it is quite right that the legal obligations on an employer to support its employee through this period are comprehensive.
AFAIK, in the UK (like Canada it seems), as long as you meet the obligations of your medical, the company cannot force you to quit flying.
It may try.
JAR-FCL 3 requires that having been assessed pregnant, you will have a multi-pilot restriction placed on your license, and that you may be deemed fit to fly until the end of the 26th week. That process involves you, your AME and, if need be, the CAA.
miss marple,
I wouldn't worry too much about what
411A says, although, you've already taken the bait.
He enjoys the cut and thrust....
It is a shame there is so much cynicism on this thread.
One understands why a
company seeks to extract the maximum from it's employees. It is only doing the reverse of what it's employees seek to do to it.
It takes a noble person to break the circle.
And we wonder why there is no solidarity between pilots....
