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?

It truly is irrelevant as to what "class" of passengers booed. It is a classless act regardless. Far too often we see a "priveleged" person or group exhibit unacceptable behavior and then the far too predictable response "I have the right." I also have the right to tell you I and my brothers and sisters who have given their life and limb for you to exercise the right we sacrificed to afford you. In turn you "owe" to those who have sacrificed thusly to extend them respect. In this case these morons demonstrated no respect for either the sacrifice nor the right they have given. These morons that we are compelled to call respectful citizens have done nothing to deserve the rights others have given them. Perhaps it would do them well to lose something like our brothers and sisters have in order to fully understand and appreciate exactly what those rights are worth. Don't anyone hold your breath for that to happen though.

My reaction to this conduct by stupid civilians is not printable.

I think there's a misunderstanding, I went back and read all the press on this.

"Mr. Perry says the captain announced that the family of “military personnel” need to leave first, adding that he believed that some passengers were already told that there were family members of a fallen soldier were onboard.
That’s when the grieving father claims that passengers in first class began jeering and hissing, apparently indignant that they’d paid for first class for a reason, and it wasn’t to let other people off first."

It sounds to me like the flight from Sacramento to Phoenix was delayed. The father says at some point the captain asked that "military personnel be allowed to leave first". He doesn't say that that privilege to leave first announcement was made concurrent with "Gold Star family trying to meet their son".
The hissers and boomers were jerks, too jerky for me to believe even. I think there was room for misunderstanding from what I have read .

I would be so ashamed for them. Much more than that and I think you create an incident which might make it worse. If I was close enough to first class , I might explain to them how disrespectful they are being. I would also think of when I was flying coast to coast, DC to SJC, the businessman I often saw who would always catch a soldier coming back and have the fa exchange his first class ticket so the soldier got his first class seat all the way home.

This type of behavior should not be tolerated by anyone. No family deserve to be treated like that regardless of the circumstances, but for a fallen soldier's family to be treated like that is sad. Just how low does one have be to disrespect a defender of this nation, one who has given his or her life in defense of this country, one who swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. To die in the service of his or her country. Those who have not served will never understand what that means to a soldier, life for country, life for our way of life, life for democracy and one gone who shall never return. Patriotism and honor is all a soldier has to be proud of the country and the people he or she serve. Fallen in to preserve that which he or she hold so dear leaving his love ones to answer the call which few often do. Shame on those who disrespect the honor of the soldier and his family who are trying to hold on to that small glimmer of family pride.

Probably just tell, "shut the fu*# up, they just lost their father/brother/sister/mother or child, what the fu@$ is wrong with any of you?" Then probably be romoved because I'd be the "problem"

probably get arrested for breaking someones jaw

Stare that person down and ask him/her if they ever served and tell them,very bluntly, that the GI may have died so they could have the Opportunity, to be disrespectful.
People like that that make me sick.

come to the family's aid to the best of my ability.

I like the action indicated, but after the family has left the plane.
