The thread is couched as a story about a pilot quitting aviation, and that's not true. It's about an inexperienced pilot who got bored with his job and left for another aviation job. Not really earth shattering, and not a pilot leaving aviation. Just switching jobs.
To yawn and say "nothing to see here" would be a massive understatement.

He made it sound like he didn't want to do long haul flying and spurted about being a programmer. Maybe he realized the grass wasn't so green on the other side, who knows.

I get more writing done on the road than I do at home. It's November, which is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), each year, which is 50,000 words in the month toward a novel or other project. Easily done each year while on the road.
You're right. If anything, getting out and traveling, working, seeing, doing, does nothing but stimulate creativity.
I've lost track of the number of authors and writers who have commented that they wished they could travel so much, that it must be a treasure trove of material. They're right, though I have never liked travel. It does generate a lot of free time, and the characters are endless.
One of my very best writing sessions took place on in a window seat on a flight home from a trip, once. It was an amazing experience of five hours of material that flowed; it almost never happens like that. Creativity in this business (flying), if lost, is a personal fault. There's no shortage to be had.

in my opinion, if he left for long haul in china then I'm sure he is going to regret leaving BA later on.

One of the best pilot authors was “Duke Elegant”. Perhaps there are more to come.
