Well it happens ALL THE TIME at the regional level....usually results in 4,000-10,000 altitude loss. In RSVM land that's TEN opportunities for loss of sep...not to mention the zero-g roller-coaster ride for the pax.
I find that very hard to believe. We all know of the Pinnacle accident but they were goofing around with no PAX on board. I would be shocked if what you say happens "ALL THE TIME".
Do you have any links to incident/accident reports showing this?
