How would you react if you were on a flight where a family was boo'd for being allowed off the plane first to receive their soldier's body?

Ask if they'd like to take the soldiers place. Because it could be arranged

Who ever booed would be the last person off the plane I would make sure of it

"You keep on booing; because that sailor/soldier/marine/coastguardsman died for you to continue to voice your opinion. But I'm alive and he did the same for me, able to talk to you and to tell you to shut your mouth and give the man some respect."

This week I was on a flight from Honolulu to Atlanta with the recently recovered remains of a Naval Aviator who died while serving in the Vietnam War. All of the passengers were respectful and patient while the hero's military escort deplaned prior to all others. For me, I felt blessed that I happened to be on that flight. I know not his name-may he rest and peace and may his family find comfort. I later found out that the remains were those of Lt. Richard 'Tito' Lannom of Union City, TN. See comment below.

More than likely my wife would be bailing me out of jail for assault and battery on an airline passenger or two.

I would have a discussion with the guilty parties. Unfortunately, there are plenty of scumbags.

I would punch the Booer dead in the mouth.

Honestly? I would most likely be unprofessional, and tell them STFU! I would likely be reprimanded for my short comings. There are some things that are too much.

I believe the best I could think to do at the spur of the moment would be to redirect the anger and hostility away from the family and to me. Once the Gold Star family had exited. It's time for a Master Sergeant counseling session. I'm an old Corps Marine. I don't believe in this touchy-feelly crap. I believe in getting it done. So the quick talk will be blunt and to the point. It would be a talk they won't soon forget.

It had to be in New York. Last year I was working at hobby air port in Houston and I saw a few gold star flights arrive. The first one I saw I thought a plane was coming in with a problem fire trucks and police cars lined the run way the fire trucks were shooting their water cannons in a arch over the plane all of the southwest mechanics and most of the office staff were out side the hanger watching I asked a mechanic what was going on he told me a fallen solider was on board the air craft it was emotional and very respectful.
