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.

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.

No, it keeps the dead body in the seat that it paid for. What is the
rationale for moving it to first class instead of moving living passengers
to first class?

What is the rationale for moving living passengers rather than a dead
body? Should not those living passengers be kept in the seats that
they paid for?

The dead person doesn't care. I am quite sure the econ class passengers
would rather be in FC

Considering the "spaciousness" of coach, would YOU like to
be seated next to a corpse just because it was your seatmate
when it was alive? The obvious place for a body would be
the hold, but quite apart from the sensibilities of the
grieving relatives, I suspect that's not accessible during
flight.

But aren't there some areas for the crew in the big airliners ?
Or having the corpse in a closed toilet ?

That' the final indignity.
Anyway, travelling on long haul in both business and cattle class, airlines
do have a curtained off area for crew to rest. If pilots could give up their
rest area for corpses, surely they could use the FC seats for themselves?
Unless, of course, all seats are taken up.

There are passengers who would object very strongly to crew taking
seats in first class.

i'm sure such ****holes exist, "me pay, you scum". For me a rested
pilot is nice, hostesses are different and can sit on my lap, as I'm a
lecherous dirty old man by training and inclination.

They do it all the time, and get the same service as FC passengers by
fellow crew members. You scratch my back... You know. When there are
empty seats in FC, who's going to complain if the crew use one of the
empty seats to rest? The economy class passengers don't even know.
If you are in FC, will you complain? I haven't seen anyone in FC done
that. That's petty.

I don't care who else is in my class of seating, be it economy, business, or
first class.

There are lots of petty people in the world. I find it especially easy to
imagine on BA.
