The world is so crazy that you can get away with almost anything.
I admit I would be surprised if a "check captain" asked to sit in the seat. But my surprise would mostly be in the direction of "Why don't you do it in your own cockpit?". He could've come up with any number of plausible explanations, including, just off the top of my head, that he's doing it for some online competition of who gets photographed in most uniforms in most cockpits. OR he could even tell the truth that he's not a pilot but his girlfriend said that she wouldn't have sex with him until he's an airline captain. I'm sure Capt Hans Riesenschwanz would be most sympathetic.
