We know that the Flybe EGPWS incident is not linked to the orbiting on final issue. There are 2 threads running in one. The moderators like this situation and that is why they haven't split them.

Take note of Telstar and the latest report of orbiting on final approach. How many more reports do you want or are you a more superior pilot that does his own thing and no matter what you read you refuse to learn?. You are why CRM was invented.
Saving fuel and time is no excuse to start orbiting on final approach. Do it on a line check and see what happens.
With regards to the flybe incident leaving the flight deck for 20 mins seems a bit long considering the present security situation. It was common place pre 9-11 but not today. I do know one F/O who takes a little longer than normal because he has a problem with constipation but even he would be 15 mins maximum.
