British Air, you suck

Once upon a time, I actually enjoyed flying with British Air and would go out of my way to fly with them. Since that time, the quality of BA has plummeted like a skydiver who forgot to put on his chute. For higher prices, you get to take less luggage and eat crappier food and deal with staff who struggle to be nice to you...

Apparently I'm not the only one who has issues with BA. What kind of crap is that anyway, dumping a corpse next to a passenger? (Do we even know what she died of? Is it safe and hygienic to place a corpse next to someone for 5 hours in room temperature heat and recirculated air?) Oh, and with the wailing relatives bonus prize? With no real explanation or apology. Especially when the passenger who has to deal with it all is a first class passenger who paid for first class service?

If this is how first class passengers are treated, imagine how bad things are in economy class...

And then to top things off, when asking about compensation for the ordeal, being told to "get over it"?! What kind of shit is that?!

The worst thing about it is that crap like this is going to become more commonplace as airlines are cutting service and brain cells (sheesh, don't they have routines for dealing with dead passengers and their wailing relatives?!) so that the CEOs can get bigger, fatter bonuses...
