Sat in the Pilot seat!

I'm going to leave specifics out of this so I don't unintentionally get some pilots fired. I was on a flight this weekend which was delayed for over an hr. The pilot said there was a ground stop at the destination and to sit tight for the next announcement. They then said that we could come into the cabin to say hi if we wanted. So I waited for the line of 20 or so people to clear, then made my way up there with my camera and asked if I could take pictures. They said no problem, as a matter of fact, take a seat The pilot went out to grab a cup of coffee and the co-pilot was there answering all our questions. They were so nice and cool.

For a guy that's never been in the flight cabin, it was a pretty awesome experience. Does this happen frequently?
