Also, more than likely, despite the lack of the extra gold buttons their uniforms probably appear quite similar. So the reaction was completely understandable. Shadre reevis’s reaction, not yours, if you were confused. I’m pretty sure by apologizing it was made pretty clear they weren’t ok with the behavior.

Not confused, nor accepting of poor behavior. You’re right... the OP concerning this issue may be new to the 121 world, not wanting to rock the boat.

Your nomination lacks originality. That said, I don’t want to take that honor bestowed upon you.

I see this a fair amount at security depending upon the airport with the line cutting of “I am going to work”, hey buddy so am I. JFK finally put up some signs that everyone stands in line. Saves me having to shoulder block the unworthy.

That a better analogy for you than a child? By the way, the witness never stated he was also a DAL crewmember. Who knows, maybe they’re trying to get on with DAL.
So now we go from children to police officers. Why can't it just be what it was? Do you really think it would be better if I had stepped up to a complete stranger, who happens to also be in uniform, and started arguing with him in front of dozens of passengers? And you are comparing that to my responsibility to teach my child?

How would you expect someone being that rude to react to a lecture? Would you want the public to see that reaction?

Not all airports have KCM and it isn’t always opened.

So Shadre Reeves... what was the point of your original post? To inform us that their are rude people on this planet?
