Narrative:

Upon descent into dtw the lead flight attendant called the cockpit on the interphone at the request of an air carrier pilot traveling in the back. He wanted to change seats with the jumpseat rider in order to secure his luggage from below by being the first off the aircraft. We advised him we would not allow the seat change request, and suggested he could move forward after landing to be the first one off the aircraft. We had a gate hold and while we were parked in the uniform pad he came forward (out of uniform) and let himself into the cockpit. Some of the passenger questioned who he was and we told them he was an air carrier pilot.
