IanPZ, another thoughtful post.

IO540, whether or not I have children of whatever age and sex, whether or not I am married, divorced or widowed, and what, and for whom, I do for a living are extraneous to the discussion - there is no need to bring personal circumstances into it.

Do you think there are employers who will pay 20% less to a woman for the same job?
Yes. There are. Fact. May be illegal but it happens and it's down to the woman to bring the case for which she needs proof and proof that's hard to obtain. To believe that it still doesn't happen is naive I'm afraid.

Cheers

PS ... Aviator is a male term ... the female equivalent is aviatrix. Stick to pilot.
