I think some contributors to this thread are missing the point, perhaps obtusely. I think, and I hope, that we all believe in the maxim of 'best person for the job'. In this case, the tribunal has determined that the Gp Capt was the best person for the job, but has been descriminated against on the basis of gender. Physical fitness, or otherwise, is a separate issue.
I think we should be shocked, that well into the 21st Century, that sexism has reared its head again. Perhaps, having read some of the posts here, I should not have been surprised!
