Just for info but in 1999/2000, after the announcement, KLMuk lost about 25 % of it's pilot workforce to other operators.
This included a relatively large number of F100 Commanders under 40 years of age.
I would guess that very few are regretting their decision.
Incidentally, the impression I got was that the only people who had bad things to say about the F27 were the ones who couldn't fly it.
