Maybe, the "authorities" will decide to hand out a fixed amount of bathroom passes like in some schools.
(... and then the games and fights over the "passes" begin.
) And how long until there is a ticketing system for plane bathrooms? Take your number and wait your turn in your seat? And if you don't get in there fast enough and lock the door X seconds after your number is displayed/announced, then you're out of luck.
AA and NW still have at least some pilots making the lock-down-type announcements. Outside of the US, I never have to put up with this.
Do the cockpit or cabin crew play games with the seatbelt announcements in order to lockdown the plane or bathroom faster?
