He's still flying as a captain in his home country as far as I know, and I'm pretty sure he frequents these pages.
So, I'm going to ask: if he's still flying, as a captain, with no visible problems - Isn't it possible that's exactly what happened?
I know neither him nor her, I don't know the situation why everyone agreed with the decision to sack him, but I know some people that I would agree to sacking...
I also knew some rather vengeful women some of which I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a stunt like that just to spite their ex.
Disclaimer: just an SLF, not that captain. ;-)
