Captain Graham Lindsay's court case against the Civil Aviation Authority has been going through court since last year. In 2016, his ex wife's partner approached the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) suggesting it was possible Lindsay might try to commit murder-suicide by deliberately crashing a passenger jet. When questioned about his assertion, he said he could not recall why he could not remember why he'd called Lindsay controlling. Regardless, Watson later said Lindsay had been "controlling and aggressive" throughout the CAA's dealings with him, and that their "earliest dealings" saw him manifest this behaviour. Pilditch suggested that whenever Watson had the opportunity with Lindsay, he "leapt to the worst conclusion about him".
