Wow!
The movement I was referring to was the "droves" you mentioned, not AP. As I said, the FOs I fly with were very sorry to see him go as was I. AP was always very good to me and helped me out more than once. I have no ambition within GB and have no need to backstab anyone (I don't even know what a Base Supervisor is).
The impression you give is that the pilots are stampeding. This just is not true. Some are looking further afield but most guys quite like GB.
If I gave the impression that FOs were happy to see AP go I am sorry. What I meant was that the FOs are happy there is some movement.
