What about the health problems created by dehydration if pilots can't drink in the cockpit? Does it have a secondary barrier like the A330? I would drive the FAs nuts stepping out for a drink every hour. On the plus side, it will help prevent DVT by walking out of the cockpit every time you need a drink.
Someone needs to tell the FRC that half their FRMS is now invalid. Fatigue and refusal to extend calls are 98% paid BTW.
