Narrative:
Shortly before descent into ZZZ, first officer, the captain asked the first officer and relief pilot if it would be alright to bring his wife into the cockpit to witness the landing. Both the first officer and relief pilot agreed. WX was cavok and winds light and right down the runway. The remainder of the flight was uneventful. Then almost 14 hours after landing the relief pilot called the company and turned the captain in. The relief pilot never talked to the captain about the situation after landing on the bus, or at the hotel. His first call was to the company. I feel that the least he should have done is talk to the captain first, before proceeding on his course of action. Lesson to be learned: never trust anyone junior to you.
