However, my non aviation employer will then discover the reason of the LOA, not family related or other made up reasons but to pursue an airline career. Shouldn't a simple employment verification be enough or the regional has to call my previous non aviation employer and ask questions?
Just to be clear, I don't think the airline will have any problem with you being currently employed at some other employer. Seems normal enough to me, you are employed with the old company until starting work with the new company. They are going to ask for your dates of employment.
In a very large company, the person receiving the request might get 100 of these calls per day and doesn't think twice about it, doesn't tell anyone. But in a small company, the person taking the call is going to talk to whoever just on gossip principals alone.
