I completely agree. There are 2 sides to this situation, which is, to me, what makes it an interesting moral dilema. On one side, you help those in need of the occasional lift, and on the other side, you reinforce habits of some who consistently tread upon others.
I think the airline should have asked people to let others go ahead, instead of commanding it. Social pressure would have ensured the same result, but willingly.
And I think the people who got bumped to the front of the line should have thanked at least one person they moved ahead of.
