London City is an amusing place to put matters mildly indeed, so much so that a certain Italian 328 operator prohibited FOs from taking off or landing there.
The pilot attrition rate in an airline like Suckling/Scot will indeed always be high. It always was and I would not read too much into the present move-on rate amongst the present crews.
I too, wish them well and still think that if the likes of Bishop and Branson have reaped rewards for their services to aviaton, then so too should the Sucklings.
I have to agree with the likes of Ronnie Barker. If you took the bull by the horns, dilemmas were usually resolved in a fairly expeditious manner and young Roy, in his little glass office was far more approachable than many airline bosses with whom I have come in contact.
