BA places corpse next to first-class passenger

So it's OK if the dead passenger is left right beside someone in economy? What if she had a middle seat? Then she would have been less likely to fall over. Duh. It's a shame Trinder didn't have a camcorder with him. |

The simple question is whether you have a reference to support that or not. |

John Doe wrote: Craig Welch wrote: Nasty. He should get some sort of compensation. Nope. He should get over it, as the airline suggested. Assuming this isn't a hoax, the passenger should have demanded he be moved if they were unwilling to move the corpse. Normal airlines would put put the person in a body bag and stowe in in a lavatory. In the case of Singapore, on its 340-500s, they have stowage for a dead body so it doesn't close down one of the lavatories. It is absolutely unhygienic to keep a corpse in open spaces next to other people, especially for a very long flight. If BA really did what was written in that text, I suspect they are about to get a visit from health inspectors. My gut tells me this article is a hoax. One point that suggests a hoax is the reference to the row he was sitting in. While BA first class on a 747 does have some pairs of adjacent seats for the most part there is nothing that would normally be referred to as a row. |

In a typical BA 747, rows 4 and 5 have each have four seats. A strange concept of "row". So the guy could have been complaining of a corps in his 'row' with two aisles in between them. I really wonder where everyone was. |

In a typical BA 747, rows 4 and 5 have each have four seats. 2 adjacent seats would be a row. 'Row 5' refers to a window seat; two adjacent seats in the middle; and another window seat. I was commenting on the statement that "pairs of adjacent seats" can not normally be considered a row. |

The simple question is whether you have a reference to support that or not. You referred to 'that [sic.] biohazard criteria'. The simple question is 'which bio-hazard criteria'? Craig, if he said that the sun rises in the east you would stamp your widdle feet and demand a site. Little man it's time you got over yourself So you don't know either ... As earlier mentioned, many of the newly departed suffer from having beshat themselves right at the departure gate. Additionally, during the immediate post-mortem cooling period, some of the terminally cadaverous develop rather offensive noise-making potential, from outright barks to loud gurgles and even involuntary flatulence. Why, rigor will occasionally cause a lad to rear upright, discomfiting to no small extent those sitting nearby. All of those characteristics, while not universal, are enough to make sitting beside a fresh corpse potentially unpleasant. As for bio-hazard, different strokes for different folks, but at least on international flights, a bit of **** can be hazardous... TMO |

In such a case I would complain about being seated next to a corpse instead of that it was at the end of my row. I suspect that the complaint would be more efficacious in that form. |

Both ends being isolated window seats well behind the center seats in the same 'row'. Thus the body was at least an aisle away and probably not normally in view. |

Per Craig Welch:
Really? The lavatories on international flights are often covered in it, to a degree that would not be acceptable at a ground location. Yet Another Reason I'm glad I don't fly much... -- PeteCresswell |
