The starting point (per a judge at Isleworth)
Thank you for clarifying what you meant.

My concern was that you previously said "the usual starting point is about 12 months custody".
That may well be the usual starting point of 'a judge at Isleworth' but it is not the same thing as being the usual starting point and, as originally posted, inadvertently gave the misleading impression that there is some 'official' starting point.

The sentences I mentioned all came from items posted on PPRuNe. As far as I'm aware, together with the sentence imposed in the case which began this thread - 6 months suspended - they are all the sentences imposed upon pilots in the UK to date.
