What would you do, if a passenger in first class "boo'd" a Gold Star family for being allowed to leave the aircraft first to receive their fallen son/daughter in the military?

We won’t go there because I would likely be arrested or barred from flying on that airline.

I would be upset and vocal. That level of disrespect should not be tolerated. Actually, unfortunately, over the past 20 years I have been on several fights with both family in the cabin and fallen soldier below. Rather than any negative reaction by the rest of the passengers, people were respectful. One one flight, people refused to get off the plane until the fallen was in the local transport. My experience is, while we may disagree on the war, most of us respect those who go to war in our name. This is a lesson we had to learn, the hard way in Viet Nam.

I think I would be very subtle but sarcastic towards the idiots who boo'ed. No need for that, there is enough division in the world as it is.

I would probably get arrested for beating someone's ass for being so disrespectful and ignorant. I would put my military bearing aside for this. People have no respect for the ultimate sacrifice that Soldier made so they can run their stupid mouths.

Well, there are two ways that everyone can go about this. 1 way is to go off the deep end and just let the ignorant person have it. Although that is the way that I would choose those 2nd thoughts would probably come into play and then you to think and all of that "hard right" speech I usually give I would actually have to use it. WTF!!!! On the other hand Option 2 which would normally be option and should be the #1 only option is to educate and simply explain to the person that where ever they are going to go that place or person is already there and what is a is few extra minutes really going to do. It is common sense to take the few mins (that's all everyone is asking) to pay a little respect even if you don't agree with it to the family that will have to endure the loss and the pain of their family member that has passed to help keep America and all of it's foreign countries safe so that YOU can ride first class and bitch moan and complain that you can't be first to get off the plane because you paid and extra amount of dollars to sit in the nice comfy chair with leg room and the king size candy bars and actually glass of alcohol vs the nips that the average person can afford. If that doesn't work then a good ol prayer for that person will just fine and shake your head.

Tell the passenger he/she is a fucking asshole . I'd tell them to Show respect to the family and the dead service person. I I will kick your ass. I would risk arrest to make them think twice before being so inconsiderate again. Fear and pain are great teachers and behavior modifiers.

I would stand up proudly, look squarely in the closet face booing, and just stand there. "If" they continued, I would engage them asking just what to them is more important than honoring the person who gave :is/her life for them. Rhetorical. If some lame comment came from their mouth at that point; I cannot write my comment here.
