"I am a CX pilot and can tell you all right now that myself and none of the other CX pilots are sorry to see Wilko go. He was a total prick and anyone would think he owned CX the way he used to carry on.
Absolutely not true. Sure, there are some that don't like him, but on the whole he was very well respected as the 777 Chief Pilot. Under his stewardship, the 777 fleet probably had the highest morale and has certainly had some of the best results (training, FDAP etc) of any CX fleet. That's not to say he hasn't had to make some unpopular decisions in his time and no doubt collected a few 'enemies' along the way - I'd be surprised if there's any manager anywhere that hasn't.
