All these views on cabin crew attending the flight deck for the purposes posted seem to me to miss the point, in that, CC are employed primarily to serve their customers food and refreshments and attend to their needs as per their company policy.
The other, and main function, is cabin safety procedures in an emergency situation.
Now, to expect them to monitor pilots whilst one goes out of the cockpit, seems to me quite ridiculous, due to the fact that (no reflection on them) they haven't been trained so to do.
Even if they got the necessary training, what have we ended up with, a CC member who is trying to do a fairly stressful job, to then change hats and become a person on the same professional standard as pilots and start supervising them !
Come on chaps.......there must be a better solution than this.
