I would guess + 1.5 G would make most pax unhappy. Negative G's of any magnitude would produce mass vomiting for sure. The worst "negative" load factor we see is just slightly less than +1.0 probably + 0.7

We normally bank 15-30 degress, which barely gets you over one G, and try to never do significantly less than +1.0...really only happens on a late hand-flown level off.
