Had a fair bit of very manageable bumps in ppl flying, but still to this day nothing 'beats' flying as pax on the Boxing day when there was the storms in Europe. The crew apparently only got about a minutes notice (don't ask me to explain - my met is crap). Half pax were screaming, half nervous laughing, lots of tears, and some very quiet white faces at Turin airport when we landed. Only later did we read that a light ac gone down at the airport, a gondola lift had blown down in switzerland, and loads of trees had gone down in France.
Seriously though, I wouldn't worry about it - I think if you are at the pointy end you'll find it easier to deal with. I *hated* that incident a pax, but have just caught the aeros bug as a ppl.
