The other difference with cargo is that a deceased body has to be accounted for as a person on the flight plan
I dont think thats correct!
It is shown on the loadsheet as HUM/weight. Just another bit of revenue im affraid, not a passenger as we know it.
I have also witnessed a coffin sliding off a belt loader and opening up on the ramp!
No one would help me put the old girl back in!
She never thanked me either!
