On a related note, is it just me or has the amount of time the pilots spend congregating in the galley & by the cockpit, allegedly because they had to use the little pilot's room inflight, now approaching the 20 minute mark (at least on my flight yesterday it did). Never mind the 'customer service' inconvenience of blocking the F lav from those who it is there for, but isn't this a 'safety & security' issue to have the pilot(s) gabbing w/the FAs (who come crawling out the woodwork) for so long?
Since you asked the question I would say it is just you
Personally find it very odd ( incredible might be a more appropriate word) that the lav would would be blocked for anything approaching 20 mins.
Usually the process goes fairly quickly .. but then I havent got the inclination to try and time it
.
Surely you are not suggesting that the F not there for the crews use are you?
