Fellow pilots, let's be nicer to our passengers than this pilot
apparently is. If anyone in the plane has a bag at the ready, it's
not a good time to pull zero G maneuvers!!

This is pretty funny though :-)

In my opinion this pilot would not end up on my list of people I
would recommend.
This "stunt" is unwise as a general rule, especially in aircraft
like this one; especially loaded with passengers; especially with
baggage in the baggage compartment; especially with that baggage not
tied down and secured; and most importantly, especially at the high
rate of forward pressure this pilot was obviously using to "create
the effect". It's very possible to take these airplanes right on
through 0 g and into negative g if this is done fast enough and
these airplanes are not designed for that. Carried to the extreme,
this "stunt" could cause real structural problems.
And all this doesn't even address the fact that at least one
passenger on this flight was taken from the role of passenger and
made a victim by this totally inappropriate, unprofessional, and
unnecessary act of stupidity by this pilot.
Demonstrating things like this in a loaded airplane is not the way
to impress the ladies.
I hope I've made my point on this perfectly clear.
Waht was that first part again?

Kind of like reading "Sale of Two Titties".....wait....that's "Tale of
two Cities I think.
Begins with
"It was a day like any other day"....ends with..
"Twas a far better thing I have done that I ever did before"
The rest is just the middle part :-))
Just pulling yur chain,,
