Interesting article. How does one balance the issue of passenger safety with family needs.
I am very tolerant and fair, equal rights for all. BUT when will this BS stop happening, catering to everything for everyone. You want to fly, then fly. You want to raise kids on breast milk, then do it on a leave of absence. If your job chooses not to pay you, then so be it. Every pilot knows what they're getting into when they apply for and accept a job, the low beginning pay, etc..
CUT THE DAMN WHINING AND ENTITLEMENT OUT!!!

Correct. Everybody cannot do everything and need to accept choices need to be made and then live with them. WAAAAAAHHHH! Never heard of formula?
ever hear of "Breast is best?"
I gotta agree on that part...
Of course. Please see "HF1950" comments above.
Oh, yeah, that's right, we need to go back to that Leave it to Beaver lifestyle. Women are only good for sammich and baby makin'!
Take a look around globally and it becomes readily apparent to most people with an Intelligence Quotient above 80 that maybe those times weren't so bad after all! The airlines have been fighting a losing battle from the beginning. Most customer service, SOC, reservations were mostly staffed by women. Now if you take an airline with 40,000 emplyees on the ground representing a female 40% or more and 10,000 in the air with 5% being female ( personally I think it should be more) and then you have to cover sick days, vacation and maternity leave with addititional staff., you would have to hire an addititional 20 % staff just to cover.( that's why they always short staffed on the ground) In the air, try and substitute 5% or roughly 500 additional pilots for temporary positions. Airlines do not hire temp pilots!
Don't leave out dusting, that's important too!!!
