And no, they don't commute from London or have a second family there...
How do you know if there is an airline pilot at a party???

Hey what’s wrong with staying at the Hayes hideaway bed and breakfast. You get a welcome letter and 10% off the breakfast (free for others)

Another thing is it’s like the guys who still brag about being in the first 190 class. Guys want the mark of being the first...the first london class. Or the first 220 class. Or whatever. Something about being the first to do something seems to be a thing.

NE-London is “TATL-light“ which could be done by a standard crew in many cases. 1.5 hours in a mint seat should do nicely. There are much longer transcons.
