EGGY,
I'm glad you are not as naïve and trusting as I am and got yourself some redundancy in extra policies. Foolishly I believed that the maternity benefit was one of the things Ek would not be silly enough to change given the fact that 2/3 of their pilots are of child bearing age. Clearly 3 months after announcing record profits, that also has made it too expensive.
For those already pregnant, the lack of any announcement that they were going to change the policy means they probably did not get any extra policies and now cant.
Rock/Hard place.
