Hopefully the other passengers didn't understand what was going on. Otherwise, their actions were disgraceful.

I travel regularly and my guess is the booing might have had more to do with the delay than any particular reason.

Flying ceased being enjoyable for many passengers years ago.

The account said the booed because the thought were a gold star family. One asked if was the one on tv... Don't minimize the ignorance of the people on that flight.

I'm starting to think more and more that we Americans deserve the guy who just got into the White House. Every day, we slide a little more down the ramp toward despicable -land.

So very sorry for the loss of their Son.

If the president-elect does it, we can do it right. Welcome to Trump's America.

to be fair...does the average person know what "gold star family" means?

Also, I lol'd that it was the people in first class booing. Mom always said you can't buy class, and man has that been demonstrated true time and time again.

Probably not. Gold Star Family? A kind of premium flyer class? The flight is delayed so they booed.
