If they catch it they should stop it.
If they don't catch it right away and he gets on line, it could get ugly later. I think he needs to address that with the training dept and CMO leadership.
If the CMO lets him do it, then he'll probably get away with it, but remotely possible a future potential employer would notice the regulatory air gap at an interview.
You can look this one up on the FAA website, pretty sure Legal issued a letter addressing this.
