So unless you are a cowboy 707 test pilot, aerobatics and the G forces that come with them are not a requirement for the job.
Remarkably aerobatic aeroplane the 707!



(For those who don't get the reference, "Tex" Johnston, a Boeing Test Pilot - famous for flying in a cowboy hat much of the time, once barrel-rolled the prototype 707. This is not normal behaviour for a 707 nor, most of the time, for a Boeing Test Pilot.)
