Thrills for the pilot are not viewed quite the same way behind the cockpit door. ;) Any instant adjustment could result in the people rolling to the left while the plane rolls briskly right to get correctly leveled. Quite soon this will result in wigs and false teeth in the aisle, and arms in plaster, plus an enormous queue for the facilities.	R2x1 (4628)
