Alan Moore offered an explanation in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #2. In fact elements of that issue made it into the Sinestro Wars. In particular; Sodam Yat.

He was a civilian working for Ferris in all of his origin stories. Also, the "why" of Abin Sur in a ship has been addressed several times in the past, as well.

This way, you have the possibility of people just believing Hal to have run off, and makes it all the harder for him to get back behind the stick of a real plane again. (Of course, the whole flying simulator bit would make it easier for base personnel to connect the dots and realize that Hal=GL, but still.) I DO like Johns making Carol herself a pilot; moves her away from the stereotypical admiring-yet-bitchy-rich-girl type, and gives her more character oomph.
