So you're on a coast-to-coast flight, and someone assumes room temperature. Presumably there are people at one end or another, waiting for the dead person.
Wouldn't it make more sense to get them to their destination, where there is a 50% chance that there is a family member who could take possession of the body, rather than drop him off in Cleveland, or wherever, where there is a 100% chance that there is nobody there to claim him? That just makes it inconvenient for EVERYBODY.
And if he's coming from his home, then just leave him in cargo, and ship him home on the return flight.
If it's me that's dead, that's what I'd want. I don't want everyone to make a fuss and get inconvenienced. Just drop me off at one end or the other. Don't leave me in the middle of nowhere, so my relatives have to come and find me, and drag my corpse home.
So in addition to your DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), you should get a DNA (Do Not Avert). This is not a real thing.
Completely agree. Maybe some people were feeling queasy though, idk.
