How could anybody get recruited as a pilot in this day and age with 'anger management' issues, let alone pass the rigours of a long command course?

The Captain was the subject of a whistleblower report to the CAA from an undisclosed source who alleged anger issues. The CAA have suspended his medical pending investigation and BA have been quoted as saying that the pilot is not suspended. The Captain in question is reportedly undergoing an acrimoneous divorce from his wife' who is also a pilot. After enquiries the CAA may find that the report was either, a) made in good faith, or b) made maliciously. If it is the latter, then the motivation and mental state of the reporter will almost certainly come under scrutiny.
