For Finnegan's sake, it reaches 1.5 g in initial pullup, gets to +0.6 G minimum and then mushes between +0.75 and + 1.25 G for the rest of the flight. It's nothing unusual even for airliner!
When your management get's notice that you fly your airliner like that in daily flying, or even that it is usual for you to expose your passengers to such flying, then you get fired. If you do it in stalled situation, you might get killed.

Expieriencing continuous below one g for first consecutive 25 seconds and later for uninterrupted 60 seconds is unusual, whatever you say otherwise. And for this crew it might have been more unusual to decrease the g to 0g as needed for recovery for even longer time, as they never had been exposed to such a situation.
