He paid WHAT???

BA sat corpse in first class
Steven Swinford
Paul Trinder, who awoke to see the body at the end of his row, last
week described the journey as "deeply disturbing", and complained that
the airline dismissed his concerns by telling him to "get over it".

"It was a complete mess - they seemed to have no proper plans in place
to deal with the situation," said Trinder, 54, a businessman from
Brackley, Northamptonshire.

No "proper plans in place"? How often does ANY airline have
a passenger die in transit? (It really doesn't seem the
sort of event for which advance planning would be given
priority!)

Why not? This would not be common but it does happen.

Why didn't they keep the body in Coach and move some live passengers into
First Class to make the needed space?

Why should they? Because people in the back of the plane paid less
than £3000 for their tickets?

The thing that gets to me about the treatment of this story is the
apparent focus on the comfort of one passenger and the lack of
interest in the loss of a life and the understandable grief of the
bereaved. Even Trinder's claim about the body decaying and giving rise
to health and safety risks was quoted without being questioned or
challenged. Sure, it was disturbing for him, but perhaps if he had
seen how much less distressing his situation was than was that of the
bereaved family he would have kept his mouth shut rather than run off
to same pal in the media to show how selfish he is.

As BA apparently said, he should get over it.

Burial at sea, usually chucked overboard with the Captain saying a few
words.

The article said that BA alone has to deal with approximately 10 midair
fatalities a year.

All major airlines have had experience with mid-air fatalities. There
are procedures in place, the cabin crew are so trained, and it looks
like this airline followed those procedures.

I very much doubt that. Have you got a source?

What a ****. You have either never flown 1/2nd, or have no idea at all.

You're binned!

Amen! Where is the compassion for the family?
Why are so many inconvenienced by and insensitive to someone else's tragedy
anymore?
Today's media thrives on this type of thing.
