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?

Offer to personally escort offended parties off the aircraft.

Get some honor.

I’d stand up and ask them nicely to please show respect for someone who gave their life for your freedoms!

This Flight Attendant, former AF SP K9, married to Retired Army E8 would have a few things to say on the Interphone for sure.Most of our pilots are Vets, they would also address the asshats on the flight.

I would try really hard to maintain my military bearing. With that being said I can usually provide a look that says, "zip it or prepare for the consequences"!

Use my phone to video and post on Facebook.

I’m curious why the question only pertains to “first class” passengers. I’m sure it’s possible this could happen. But, it seems just as likely to come from coach.

I believe that I would to make a very strong demand for the command pilot of the aircraft to use his loudspeaker to silence all passengers with the threat of police action of not obeyed si!ence al l passengers to silince

If prior Military, stand at attention with hand over heart or respect of salute? with head still eyes follow in recognition to the sacrifices of both and the deceased and Family. Us War veterans would automatically salute the fallen.

As a non- Military citizen, stand semi-ridged with right hand over the heart and poised in recognition of the deceased and family. Any sense of recognition would surely be appreciated by all in the area.

Kindly explain to the individual that if it weren't for this family and their sacrifice then he might not have the job he does that allows him to fly first class while this probable blue collar family is forced in their grief to fly in coach when they should be in his seat; that without their sacrifice we could easily be living under the dictatorship that he must mistakenly think we are now in; that if he really had any balls he would have been in the person's place that they have come to usher on his way to a final resting place instead of taking it for granted that someone else would keep him free; that they are not here to disagree with his politics but to celebrate our freedom. Then I would offer him the opportunity to not only apologize to the family but to sincerely offer his deepest condolences.
