I have "logged" 17 deaths and three babies born in my career, and each one was incredibly traumatic for the cabin crew. TAA did carry body bags for a while, but where to put them was always a problem. We had one Captain die, and one Flight Engineer, so just left them where they were until arrival, but dreadful for the F/O, and ditto for the crew of the deceased Flighty. The births were just as traumatic, but joyful in the end, one little bloke made his appearance over Glen Innes, so was immediately named Glen, the other two were girls, and both named after the cabin managers who fortunately were both trained nursing sisters. Interesting to note that upon each birth there was a hat sent around to collect from pax and crew and all contributed happily for the bewildered but thankful parents.
