I think it could be security related. It’s a similar thing when applying for a security card here for unrestricted access to airports. They aren’t looking for any specific activity, only that you can verify what you have been doing for the last 5 years (school, work, other service, whatever).
Hmmm, yes, you don’t want a CV with a 5 year gap in it… I saw that once in a job candidate. He told me he spent 5 years of his life with a rock band. It later turned out he was in jail 
With the rule that a cabin crew member enters the cockpit when one pilot goes to take a leak, I would think cabin crew vetting must take on a whole new dimension!!

Very good!
Course could have been the jail’s rock band, they get up to all sorts of things in there these days I am lead to understand. Even learning to be pilots (flying drones).
