For the possible 'gamers' in the crowd...when you knocked on the HR door, you asked for work, and if work was provided, a reasonable salary was offered.
You then either said yes or no.
Note...work for salary.
I don't think the HR department intended for no work, but pay anyway.

What about when you go the extra mile without saying: 'yes, well... I will do it but, what's in it for me?'
Or when the company tries to dodge the initial deal you signed when you 'asked for work'?
etc...
If someone was deemed to be 'gaming the system' I can fully appreciate a chief pilots stance whereby...a couple of PC checks would then be failed, then dismissal is right around the corner.
I've seen it happen, in the past.

Since females consist of almost 50% of the workforce, then companies must budget for maternity leave as a cost of doing business.
Since only 3.5% of pilots are female, I would suggest that to begrudge one her entitlements regarding maternity benefits is the height of being a scrooge.

What I got from the original post (and a few subsequent ones) was that the 2nd pregnancy was planned to co-incide with the first lot of maternity leave so that she wouldn't have to go back to work.
Not so much an accidental pregnancy.
Of course, an accident is usually an accident. I don't object to women having children in general. However as a woman trying to be taken seriously in the world of aviation (or anything else for that matter) I sympathise with the general public on this topic.
