General Maintenance Action
Procedure; MEL; Aircraft; Human Factors
Key pad to cockpit door not working. Maintenance tried to fix the key pad; they could not fix. They MELed the pad for 2 days. We would have no access to the cockpit during flight if something happened to both the cockpit crew. This is not safe.
The cockpit keypad was inoperative. Maintenance tried to fix; but then they placarded it. Captain said it would have to be fixed within 2 days.  The ZZZ-ZZZ1 flight was scheduled for 5 hours. If for any reason the cockpit became incapacitated the flight attendants would have absolutely NO access to the cockpit. I did not feel safe in this situation. I did not feel safe for my crew; my passengers and myself. I was the #4 [Flight Attendant].
Flight attendants reported concerns over an inoperative cockpit door key pad that would have prevented access to the cockpit from the cabin during flight.
