Was on a flight yesterday coming back from a birthday in Bali, on JQ36 back to Melb from DPS in J seat 1A
When the meal service was in full swing, I noticed the FO (3 stripes) out of the cockpit and into the crew rest area for at least 1-2 hours, so did that mean there was only the CP in the cockpit alone?, I thought maybe a crew member was in there too, but counted them including the service manager were all busy with meal service - full flight....
I thought all airlines has a 2pax policy at anyone time in the cockpit....especially QF\JQ and after that incident not long ago with the pilot who took an airliner down, locked the CP out of the cockpit...
Some have 2 jumpseats not sure about Jetstar 787’s. I was on a VA 737 a while back and pilot went to toilet. Crew member went into cockpit until he come back. It was reassuring to see.
Generally 2 people are in the cockpit (Varying on airline/country regulations). I've seen a FA go into the cockpit on short-haul flights whenever one of the pilots needed to go for a toilet break.

There would be at least one, possibly two reserve pilots.

Was probably 3 in there to begin with for whatever reason. 3-1=2. I very much doubt there would have been one left in there alone.

Three pilots operate JQ 787 international flights (sometimes 4), third and fourth pilot often a second officer
