Whilst it may be either appreciated or considered witty, it certainly isn't necessary. However, it may be that the licensed individual was previously in the military and was indeed a captain by title. If so, then it would be both appropriate and respectable.

What is the proper way to address an airline pilot?

According to Letitia Baldrige, one of America's leading authorities on etiquette, airline captains should be addressed both socially and professionally as "Captain Smith." This follows merchant maritime tradition in which only the captain and ship's doctor are addressed by titles. All other officers are addressed as "Mr. Smith." The written form of address is "Captain John Smith" or abbreviated as "Capt. John Smith." An invitation to a couple would be "Capt. and Mrs. John Smith." This applies to both active and retired airline captains. Airline pilots who have not achieved the rank of captain, or have voluntarily left the position of captain, should be addressed as "Mr. John Smith."
