I just enquired about those resignations, from first hand.
D.O, TRG. MGR, chief pilots 747 and 737, gave six months notice of resignation from their function in order to go back and enjoy the line flying after having served a term they deem long enough. They keep their TRI/TRE status and functions and will assist and support the people replacing them.
Yeah, did they also tell that it was with a major 747 airline based in HKG offering jobs based in europe. Guess who?
Lemper, open your eyes mate and stop dreaming.
For info, was approached by your airline but politely declined the below average european package!
