I don't know all the details but I sure am glad I was not on that flight and knew what was going on. Would be on the no fly list for sure as well as having to pay for the damage to the first class area.

    Until I have more information I'll fault the airline for this.

    If I had paid the big bucks to sit in the front and the airline announced I had to wait for a "special military family" to disembark I'd raise my share of hell too.

    If the airline announced I had to wait for a "Gold Star family" to disembark they would have received every ounce of honor and respect in me.

    I think it was a poor choice of words by the airline.
    The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

    I watched that video yesterday on FB. Very sad. I think if I was the parent or even a passenger, I would also be on the no fly list, because I would be in jail[:(!] WTH is wrong with people and where were the "real men" on that flight. Guess it was a plane full, of what Trump's grabs.[;)] Oak

    Booing is not first class behavior in any setting. I used to fly a lot and was routinely bumped to first class on points. Many times we were asked to wait for people with tight connections on a late flight, and I never saw such behavior.

    Dis anyone notice it was reported he died protecting a female soldier? A real man doing what real men do, potentially to his detriment and the detriment of his unit.
    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    I would have kept my mouth shut regardless.....since I try to go through life not being an * hole.

    Well that's because being an * hole comes so natural for you. You can do it without even trying. [:D][:D][;)]
