The pilot's answer was right....this guy was awesome and YOU lost him. The company could have had this rock star for his career but they failed to appeal to him. Instead of calling people out, its probably time to look inward at pay scales, work rules, and other things that make pilots stay at stagnant airlines during periods of growth in the industry.
If a chief called me and asked me why one of my recommendations quit, I would hang up on him. Give me a break.
