[Athena]

where else were they supposed to put it?

[camerontech]

you gotta reimburse them, give them some air miles or something.
I mean geez you pay extra money and you have to sit next to a dead body? can't blame the airline for what they did but they should defenitly compensate them

[xerxes]

Yeah I can't believe BA isn't compensating the passengers.

You're putting a corpse next to me? Thank you for paying for my next flight to anywhere!

You think they could have put it in one of the bathrooms or something.

[BartSimpson]

I'd rather have the corpse next to me than some of the clods I've had to put up with in the past. The corpse would be quieter and would likely smell better.

Have we been on the same flights Bart? At least he wouldn't disturb you getting up out of his seat every two minutes!

I think we have, indeed!

Honest to God, I'd rather fly in the cargo section of a C-130 on a hot day than have to sit in a Southwest 727 on a good day. You get way more leg room on the C-130, it is quieter (compare unshielded prop noise to a screaming baby and you'll agree), the aisle is big enough to park an LAV in (really!), and if the landing pattern is too heavy you can always have the pilot divert to fly over your house and get a green light off the ramp. (I did this once and actually got away with it!)

[2Cdo]

Not a big fan of the C-130 anymore, maybe I'm getting too old. But I tell you what, if they sit a corpse next to me on a plane and it does get up I'll be able to write 727, 767, 747, L-1011 or whatever the plane is in my jump log book!

Bart I'm much more partial to the Globemaster! That plane compared to a Herc is like Corvette to Chevette, a very sweet, comfortable ride with more leg room than an NBA player needs.

Neither am I! That was my point that as bad as the C-130 is it's still better than Southwest!

Me, too, bro. And getting old in our profession is a good thing.

Oh, hell yeah! The C-17 is sweet!

But the old Herky birds are still something else for being able to take a beating and keep flying. I don't know if the C-17 will stand up so well to punishment as the C-130 and, hopefully, we'll never have to find out.

No argument there! I give our air force troops credit for keeping them running as long as they have!
