I've seen this before. On one flight, the poor guy who was sitting in the torture seat, tumbled out of the cockpit and landed at the FA's feet. Much laughter was had by everyone except him.

"Is this normal procedure? Was on an E175 today and both pilots were out of cockpit for several minutes - one in restroom, one in galley."

Only the OP knows what they saw. This raises such a [B]serious[B] safety issue, if I saw this, i would write/email to the airline and the authorities which regulate the airline and ask for clarification.

If I was really concerned about it, I would just try to observe how many people are in/come out of the cockpit at the destination. Or... ask the FA (without sounding like a know-it-all CFR citing FTer).
