Locking of Flt Deck Door

As we all know, the locking of our cockpit doors at all times are a MUST now. Some airline, or rather ONE airline I know practices this at the expense of the ASSIST CABIN CREW. Right after his/her safety demo in the cabin, this person rushes towards the cockpit and occupies one of the jumpseat just to operate the latches which were recently retrofitted to the cockpit doors. This person will only leaves the cocpit after the seatbelt sign's switched off and one of the pilots gets to leave his seat to latch the door during climb, cruise and descent. For any nature call, the pilot shall be replaced by any cabin crew member to safeguard the door from inside until he comes back. SAFETY IS UNCOMPROMISEABLE but will this sort of practices help????
