there is nothing wrong with that. Having had another 'life' before flying does not hurt nor does it imply anything about the skills of the applicable airman.
Jetopa, I didn't imply anything. I just consider it interesting that piloting a plane apparently can be somebody's second job. This was not about having a prior life, but rather a double job. At least that's what the newspaper reports said: That he was still employed as a police officer, though not on active duty due to health issues. And this was before recent speculations by that Kazakh official published in
Bild.
Again, I don't want to imply anything, much less putting blame on the deceased pilot before any facts are on the table. So no need to call back my horses.
