A female British Airways pilot who claimed sex discrimination in a dispute over working hours has won her case.

Jessica Starmer, 26, from Wareham in Dorset, said she was denied a request to work 50% part-time so she could look after her one-year-old daughter, Beth.

BA strongly denied the complaint, arguing it was a health and safety case because Ms Starmer had not completed the required amount of flying hours.
