In a video by @flygirl_sue on TikTok, the lady said that once she gets pregnant, she would be deemed unfit to fly.

She said:

“When folks ask me, Why don’t you want to have kids? I show them my work schedule. 6am, why am I awake this early? Fly with me to Lagos while I tell you about aspects of my job that would hinder me from being a great mum.”

Sharing her work schedule, the lady added:

“If I work 7 days straight, I’m entitled to one-day off. And on those days, all I want to do is to chop life and rest. Our destinations are also very dynamic. Today its Lagos, tomorrow it might be Prague.
"As a female pilot, the law deems me unfit to fly once I found out I’m pregnant. If I’m lucky and evaluated as a low risk pregnancy, I’m limited to about 3 months of flying. That’s not the trade I’m willing to make.”

The video was captioned:

“Behind the scenes of a corporate pilot's schedule.”
