And when you employ such large number of them, it should come as no surprise they may one day be pregnant.

Also quite an assumption that most come here only with a 2-3 years plan.
I know many who have been here longer than about half the pilot population at EK.

Finally if you don't really have much in place in this area, how do you reasonably expect CC to become long serving staffs ( unless you are a man ).

Not sure when you were born but I m pretty sure it was from a woman who hopefully didn't need to leave the country and work she was employed in.

Anyway. We have both left so I was just passing on some info.
Dinosaurs ( or wannabe Dinosaurs ) feel free to think that it's all good and normal.
I think you are choosing to misunderstand me. I said that I believe that longer serving cc should get the benefits and it is my understanding that they do if they are been with the company for more than three years and there is another suitable ground job for them.

BUT again, it can't be the case where anyone can just rock up and then a year later announce their pregnancy. That would attract people from lesser blessed countries to come for the wrong reasons.
