From MCO line mechanic: Complete replacement of both MLG assemblies, stripping of entire aircraft paint to inspect for airframe fatigue, replacement of aft pressure bulkhead and inspection and replacement of several fuselage frames.

I think the crew has enough on their plates as is, and would prefer we all act as professionals and not speculate on an open internet forum. Just my .02 cents on being professional. Maybe think before you start posting stuff all over and spread misinformation.

Looks like 717 returned to service yesterday...ferried TPA-MCO then MCO-CLE to re-enter revenue service to RSW!

That’s about the standard break to downwind from an overhead in tactical flying.
For that matter, a Cessna 172 can pull 3 Gs.
