American Passenger Dies on Flight

[say again]

Relatives trying to collect..?

EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!

It's actually in our FOM. If a pax is declared dead the CA can continue on to the destination.

That's messed up - gotta say

Would a Captain please comment on the aA Captain's decision to continue to NY with a dead body stretched out in first class.

IMH(FO)O, a boneheaded call.

What is gained by diverting? To the best of my knowledge modern medical science hasn't discovered a way to bring the dead back to life and you certainly aren't going to make the deceased 'more dead' by continuing.

We had the same thing in our FOM at ASA. Once the doctor declares the person dead, then you continue to the destination.

the point, which I thought would be obvious, isn't that you're going to bring the dead person back. It's that you get the living people away from the dead person pronto

What, you're afraid of a dead body? I wouldn't care if there was a dead body next to me as long as we don't do a pointless divert. I am sure the family of the dead person woUld prefer to get home - do you know what it costs to fly a body?

 

[Soverytired]

I wonder what the rules are for securing a dead body in the cabin?

Seriously. You'd have to have it tied down like any other cargo. I suppose you have to put the deceased in a seat and "buckle up".

Then you'd have to deal with rigor mortis when pulling the body out if it's a long flight.

Ick. Best not to think about.

The decision to UPGRADE a pax, dead or not is a CS function. I think the company will fry the CA for such a blatant disregard for profit.

P.S. Like she needed the extra leg room anyway!
