Guests in the cockpit:

Not anymore in the form of a "Survey" which has been proved to be useless
(why did I have to put it that way).

I was moved to open this thread obviously because to me this practice didn't look alright.

There is a number of reasons for which an un-trained guest in the cockpit
could cause distraction for the cockpit crew.
For instance, should an incident occur (such as a "rapid decompression", even though very rare event), not to speak about the "sterile cockpit" rule on approach, and climb out (below FL10?).

I have already asked instructions privately on how to report any of such events I described in my initial post, in the eventuality it should be repeated, and I do have my ways for doing it.

Keep your opinions and personal experiences coming,
and thank you Mr Quite Happy for having expressed yours.
