allowing aerodynamic forces to lever the tail backward just enough to allow 500+ MPH air to penetrate into the body of the tail section - this would probably be enough to pry the tail section from the empennage
The airplane could fly with the fairings removed at max q and the dynamic pressure wouldn't remove surfaces. Will try to write a brief tutorial on aerodynamics in the tech section so as not to clutter up this section.
If the airplane was experiencing turbulence severe enough for the crew to phone home a report, then if the Captain was in crew rest, would think he'd make his way back to the seat.
