Sorry about the title, it had to be shortened. Excerpted the juiciest part of that title.

There was/is a video of the dude in front of his simulator.
Which indicates nothing, really.
Pilot is a pretty high position in that part of the world.
Mayhap the dude grooved to aviation and wanted to maintain a top skill level.
You ever work out job related stuff at home, just because it’s your thing and you enjoy proficiency?

There has been a lot of confusion on this a/c range... the Washington Post Range Map is for a 777-200, MH370 was a 777-200ER (Extended Range) It has a range of over 7,000 miles.
British Airways operates a daily flight in a 200ER from Beijing to London. That's real close to the Longitude where 370 disappeared.
This airplane is in the Mideast somewhere

What’s the real-world, legitimate reason for a commercial pilot having the ability to disable a plane’s transponder and/or communication systems?
