I'm more amazed at the number of male pilots that appear to be 7 months pregnant."
Some guys I see in the terminal are more like 9 months pregnant and standing in line at BK or Micky D's. The JB crews all seem to be in at least "average" shape if not better.

my sister was over 8 months pregnant when we went on a family vacation and all she did all day was lay out in the sun. if she can do that and not complain or have difficulties, i would assume that a 7month pregnant woman could handle the duties of the job she's so used to. at 7 months, the baby weighs, what, like 2 or 3 pounds at most? if she's kept in shape and whatnot, she shouldn't be a blimp.
by the way, my sister will be the darkest, baddest-ass looking new mom in the maternity ward in the next few weeks
allllllllllllll she freakin' does is "bake the baby", as she puts it

I never wear a hat or tuck in my shirt. I will always use the excuse of "gaining a couple of pounds" to make sure I can look the way I want to feel.
And yes, thats' right....I now where my pj's to every bank, doctor's office, PTA meeting, etc....that I go to. You slack asses wear your pj's to my office, expect the same from me.

When writing policy for a pilot groups jumpseat manual, a jumpseater (on the flightdeck, at least) needs to have certian cognitive abilities. In other words, if a jumpseater showed up with an arm in a cast, he should be denied. His ability to function as a 'crewmember' is severly limited. He cannot open an emergency door, use emergency rope, etc. (remember, that is the jumpseat deal. A free ride in exchange for additional safety)
Now, let's get political and cultural. Perhaps Eurowennie wants to comment. In many European countires, when a crewmember becomes preganant she is done working. And is supported by a system.
What criteria (and culturial influences) is a doctor using to allow a pilot to fly in her third trimester? How effective will she be in an evacuation? Just as effective if she wasn't pregnant? Can a pregnant pilot use a five point harness. What will a 5 pt. harness, sudden stop/impact do to the fetus?
I can only shake my head, in that a woman in her third trimester who feels she must "do it all" is socially lost. The fear women have, that if they don't work to "be somebody" then they are nobody, is extremely powerful.
Many working mothers only have or can afford six weeks of maternaty leave. With FMLA maybe more. It is one thing to put your six week old baby in day care for a 9 to 5 job. It is shocking to put your infant in 'daycare' to do a four day trip. Air Line pilots, one would think, especially women, should be responsible enough not to "just get pregnant".
Maybe Mr. Mom is increasing in numbers or maybe men never agreed to the 'women have a right to work and have a family' mantra.
It's no wonder the "200 hour flight instructors" are self-entitled and demand thier jet jobs. They got it from thier parents.
