Perhaps if we are going to investigate the Captain's 'Flight Sim' activities, we should investigate all aircrew who take photographs of aircraft, or give up their own time to fly/commentate at air shows, or do other aviation related things.
While we're at it it, why not investigate all the ATCOs who volunteer to work at RIAT every year? Doing aviation related stuff in your own time?…Must be suspicious.
For many professional aviation licence holders, (myself included), aviation is a passion, not just a job. For others, (quite understandably), it is something which is left behind at the airport/ATC Centre, (or wherever), when heading home.

No body is suggesting investigating all aircrew. Just those involved in missing aircraft!
Like any investigation you have to look at every possibility and use a process of elimination.
A lot of very sensitive souls on here when anyone raises the subject of foul play by the crew but I can think of two incidences in the last year or so that are Pertinent. In fact the last large aircraft hijack was carried out by the co-pilot of the flight.
