Nice one...
What does 'POB' formally stand for? "People on board"?
If so, it doesn't say whether they are alive or dead, so your POB remains at 300.
Leads to another question... if you have a coffin in the hold with a body being repatriated for burial, do you have to include that in the 'POB' count?
And if you use that other quaint term 'SOB' ("Souls on Board"), what happens to the soul when the pax dies? Can you be sure it's left the aircraft? Or might it hang on to stay near to the body and not leave until later?
