In light of recent incidents, would it not be a great idea to move the locking flight deck door to the bottom of the stairs? This would leave us with our own bathroom, ie no pilot has to leave the flight deck and be unable to return whilst the added benefit is that there are no longer pax right up at the door - potentially- as you enter/exit the cockpit.

Discuss.....
Why not put the bunks up front as well as moving the door; then you'd have 3 or 4 pilots all within a safe and secure environment who'll be able to detect any descent or abnormal attitude during flight.

As the 6ft 6", gym strengthened, half my age and twice my strength, male CC who chaperoned me the other day whilst the Captain was wizzing, said.....How could I tell if you were subtlety descending anyhow?
