Fools. Positive G maneuver, but I wouldn't do it in a non-aeros aircraft regardless, and I surely wouldn't film myself chuckling like an idiot and posting it on the world wide web.

I've flown on these guys. Jesus. This is an AIRLINE. This isn't a rented Seminole and two students being morons.

A roll is a pretty low risk maneuver, in any airplane.
But these days it's stupid to post the video on Youtube, might have some 'splaining to do.......
