Unfortunate, but not unexpected. If there's ever a group of people that tend to be entitled and just plain nasty pieces of work, it's some of those airline passengers.

The family was booed and hissed by some passengers, when the pilot asked the passengers to remain seated so that the family could leave first (their flight from Sacramento to Phoenix was delayed and they needed to hurry to catch the next connecting flight).

Father of slain soldier says family was booed bringing son home - NY Daily News
Quote:
Perry said his son’s death comes comes at a time military service is facing disrespect. He said his family was even booed on the flight to bring his son’s body home over a delay.

“To hear the reaction of the flight being delayed because of a Gold Star family and the first class cabin booing, that was really upsetting, and it made us cry some more,” he said.

awww did you watch the video? The father called out Donald Trump for attacking that Gold Star family. More evidence of the crudeness and vulgarity Trump has made normal in public discourse.

So sad.

People are getting sick and tired of these wars. The guy should have never been on that flight as his son should have been earning a diploma or building houses or even working at Burger King.
