"Pilots reported feeling "airframe buffeting", a potential warning the plane is about to stall, while "holding" at 22,000 feet.

The flight crew also received a "stick shaker activation", the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said. The stick shaker device causes the aircraft's control stick to vibrate noisily to warn the pilot of an imminent stall."
The ATSB report on this was published last week: https://www.atsb.gov.au/publications...r/ao-2017-044/

So far as the passengers are concerned, I think I feel more for the person in L5 than the person in 63C.
