neither the bulk on MD11

Neither the bulk bed for pilots on MD11 was certified for T/O and landings as it block the 1L door when is armed so there was even a caution message on the display saying the bulk still open.
BTW no pilot is suposed to be out of the cockpit on T/O and landings anyway in any long haul airline I know.
Plus the convenience for the crew to be able to sleep quietly far from pax.
