Were they athletes? What sport? Where were they going? What color was the garish beach wear? Was it a uniform of some sort. How old were they? What was their nationality? Did they have adult supervision? Were they all evicted from F by the manipulative elite passenger/FA mutiny? How many ended up in C? This gives me the willies.

The sole original F passenger said this below and her de-planing might well have been an option, even if I were not on the flight - delaying the flight possibly for an hour or two whilst bag located from among the 500 others and removed.

As I asked, in that case, WHO was to blame. Not the First Class passenger, that is for certain.
What "makeup" were the passengers wearing originally?

You are new on FT, do not show any UA status in your sig, and for all I know have never been on a UA 777. Do you realise how close you are to F row 4, in row 8 in a 3 class 777?

"Hey Andy these seats they just gave us are in FIRST CLASS -- A-W-E-S-O-M-E"

Wow .. look private TV screens. And the seat moves up and down and goes flat. WOW .. the seats coming over were totally GROSS man, compared to this neat stuff.

And look at all this cool stuff we can order from this huge menu."


Small subtle clues along those lines, to answer your question.

Hey the kids were over the moon -- as I posted very early on I'd have been so too at 16 or whatever. They were over the moon in row 8 too. @:-)

Folks you had to be there. All the rest is Sunday morning quarterbacking. We are all world experts at that - right.
Were the children speaking English? Were they Americans?

didn't matter any more. the ex C crowd had their backs to them. somebody else's problem.
