Do you really need two dudes sitting up front counting waves? Maybe one could be minding the ship while the other one sleeps. which rarely happens anyway.
Another management-employed troll... or someone who has no idea how often this automation fails? I've seen 10 pages* of Technical Logbook deferred items on some airlines. Less so, these days, probably because of inventive paperwork management.. or because they've been hidden from view on a computer somewhere

Doesnt take more than a jiffy to get them back into the seat if an emergency develops,
Tell that to the family and friends of Air France 447 passengers/crew... and, possibly, MAS MH370.

And what happens when the cockpit door automation fails? Or the plane is inverted?

*which the pilots have to read and apply risk management principles to... before they start "counting waves".
