Why not have a washroom as part of the cockpit?

It might be *worth* it.

They have developed cars that will apply the brakes for you if it thinks that you are going to hit something, why not a plane that will automatically climb if it senses that it is going to hit the ground?

Hopefully the announcement about there always being two crew members in the cockpit will ensure this never happens again, and maybe someone will consider that doctors should be duty bound to report health issues of pilots and other professions where a lot of others lives are dependent mandatory.

Basically, I agree with you, although ensuring that something never happens again with 100% certainty is unrealistic in my view.

Can they just open a window & pee out of it?

Or carry a "gerry4" it and empty on landing. ;)
