It is not relevant if a doctor must or must not inform the airline if he has a pilot with medical or psychological problems, or whom the parents tell it or not. Important is only that the responsible people get to know it, in which way is completely irrelevant, and stop the guy from entering a cockpit and killing the passengers who trusted that airline.
I may say this as I know the rules of a private company, being responsible for a huge sales volume and sales team. My company will not accept my apologies I did not know before that this or that could happen on the market, or whatever caused sales to go down, they will just tell me "that was your problem, you didnīt do your job". And in my case it is only money and jobs. The airline managers are responsible for lives.
That sounds like a knee-jerk reaction. If all procedures were followed and due diligence was applied there's no need for anyone to resign or get sacked.
