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?

I would defend the family wholeheartedly. I hope the pilot and stewardesses on the plane did this?

I would tell them to STFU, and dare any of them to make a move on me!

I would have a few choice words for them after I gave my respects to the fallen hero.

First I'd feel deeply saddened then there would be some disrespectful comments and language directed towards the booing individuals.

Understanding, of course, that the people who are doing the 'boo'ing are not going to stop, there are really only three options, some of which are less desireable than others. The first, and least desireable, would be to remain silent. The second would be to attempt to console the family in an attempt to distract them from the crowd. The third would be to make a scene by yelling at people to shut the fuck up or something similar, which would invariably draw attention to you, thereby shifting it off of the family.

I looked into this because it was very disrespectful but upon further review the pilot never informed anyone that it was a gold star family. they just said a military family was going to exit first. the people who booed were in first class, who are normally let off first. The pilot should have made a better announcement and maybe this would have been a nonfactor.

Honest to God I'd probobly yell at them. Then hit them. I'd get charged but my Co my BC would be proud and they deserved a lesson

first Ill explain to them why they are getting off the plane first..... if they still continue to push their agenda. Thats the time Ill call each and everyone of them " Oxygen thief"

Go with my strengths: ridicule, belittle and dismiss.

Problem solved, problem staying solved.

Tell them to cut the sh!t and ensure they know that they also disrespecting me! Nevertheless, I guess that's their right to express themselves.
