Narrative:

During cruise, a pilot sitting on the jump seat asked if his traveling companion might take a peek into the cockpit. The captain and I agreed, believing a quick look through the door to be his intent. We were surprised when he brought his companion in and closed the door. After recovering from our collective disbelief, the captain asked them to leave. After discussing the situation, we decided it was bad judgement for him to ask, and worse, for us to agree. Supplemental information from acn 410700: once I realized the jump seater was not going to have his companion exit I asked her to leave.
