Earlier this month it was being reported that the FAA would be investigating this incident (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG6p0z_W2Bo).
My initial thoughts were if this were a turbo-prop or the seat belt signs were illuminated, fine that’s one thing. But it was a cruising A320.

Then today I saw this on facebook from British Airways. The world record for the highest Harlem Shake ever performed at 43,000 feet (part of their Speedbird flight 1988 for comic relief)… I wonder when the CAA will be investigating? 😀

OK, but there are very small commuter jets and larger turbo-props.
What you are talking about is size, nothing to do with powerplants.
Garry, the Let 410 is a small turboprop, not a small commuter jet…

What difference does it make if it were a Turbo-Prop??
Well, they’re smaller and lighter so coordinated movements in the cabin can have a larger effect on flight stability. Don’t quote me on that, I’m no expert, perhaps Deano could comment?
But this crash springs to mind
