Narrative:
I am filing this report to explain a violation of federal aviation regulation 121.547--admission to flight deck. 9/88, our medium large transport flew candidate and staff from ord to bos. Because we were operating under 121 supplemental, I assumed that, because the charter group owned the aircraft, we didn't have to keep strict adherence to 121.547. Subsequently, candidate at my invitation sat in the jumpseat for approach and landing at bos. This was also reported by the news media. I felt it was important for the candidate to get an overall view of how an airline crew interacts with the controllers of the FAA and possibly get a better understanding and appreciation of the system. I was not aware that 121.547 was not amendable under the supplemental aspects of far 121.
