To be fair to AdM, he has been warning of the foolishness of leaving a large successful organisation for a smaller operator with less secure financials ever since some pilots first threatened to jump ship several years ago. Many cadet pilots felt hard done by and wanted to stick two fingers up at the orange flexi-crew machine. This was at a time when the flexi crew situation had become particularly dire and now things have thankfully improved. Clearly no one is delighting in other's misfortune but on this occasion, he is entitled to a gentle 'I told you so'.
