Reminds me of a mixed pax and freight flight on the north sea. A pilot from another operator flying as a passenger spoke to the crew about an obvious c of g issue. After being told to wind his neck in he offloaded himself. As he reached the heli deck edge he noticed that all the other passengers had also offloaded. Their view was that if the pilot who flew them inter-rig wasn't getting on then neither were they. The aircraft was reloaded and the flight then proceeded.
