If it's true that the pilot asked to go to the toilet, it seems almost like an opportunist act, although I guess it wouldn't be uncommon for pilots to need a break even on fairly short flights so anyone intent of doing this sort of thing wouldn't need to wait too long before the chance arose. |
I was reading that usually a flight attendant is meant to replace the pilot so that there is always two people in the cockpit but not sure if that's true and, even if it is, I imagine they occasionally forgo such procedures if they're inconvenient.
