    God forbid I should die with you lot as fellow passengers, I'd be making more moves than a ping pong ball!

    I don't really see what else they could have done. Although waking Mr T first and telling him what's about to happen would have helped a bit.

    He could have gone to sit on a jump seat I am sure, should he have wished. Anyone who has seen first class will know it's not exactly rows, and each seat is quite private. I wonder if there were other passengers there? I don't believe BA told a gold card holder to get over it. That was maybe Mr T's interpretation of the reply to his complaint.

    I used to work with a girl who had been an air hostess for a few years. She had a couple of corpse stories including one where they had had to wedge a body in front of a wheel chair bound passengar who was in a seat at the front with extra leg room. I dont think this is that unusual.

    Bet the poor guy next to it needed a 'stiff' drink!!
  • This chappie is from my region and local media have lapped this up, I would not have been a happy bunny either! Although, when I worked on some charter airlines I know that they used to "place" dead people in the toilets and stick a notice on the front saying out of order :shocked:

    If only FIRST was that cheap :rolleyes:

    People in FIRST would have paid at least double that.
