After the video was published on the coach's Instagram account, the occurrence became known to the FAA, who initiated an investigation - in the meantime the video has been removed from the account. The FAA confirmed the investigation however did not release any further details.
The airline said: "We’re deeply disturbed by what we see in that video, which appears to show an unauthorized person in the flight deck at cruise altitude while the autopilot was engaged. As a clear violation of our safety and operational policies, we’ve reported the incident to the FAA and have withheld the pilots from service while we conduct an investigation."
