Economy PAX using Business Toilets

[Bagpuss]

Was on one of the SilkAir aircraft (with no divider) over the weekend flying Sydney to Perth.
There was a non stop stream of economy passenger using the toilet, including a queue through the business class cabin for a good half hour. The cabin manager was ok with this and was talking to them, opening the toilet door for them etc.
It also seemed there was a staff member paxing or someone the team knew. For some time there was the person from economy, one of the flight crew and three of the flight attendants all talking in front of the toilet. Whilst my problem at this stage wasn't the toilet as it wasn't in use, my quick calculation was there was only one crew member not at the very front of the aircraft. In an emergency situation, as unlikley as there would be, surely that's a safety concern?

Yep, I get it but how long are we talking about here? I’m only ever out of the flight deck for a maximum of about 10mins at a time. Gives me enough time to use the facilities, stretch the legs, and get some circulation happening again.

If there was to be any kind of emergency unfolding, you can be sure that we still wouldn’t hanging around for a chat.

There was a non stop stream

Sorry, but I presume no pun intended ?

Excellent occurrence - Y using J loos
My best one is as a J using F loos on the QF A380
