So looking at thinks from a profile prospective taking off the pilots would move linearlly then gradaully rise up very smoothly, being that their at the front of the plane. However people in the back would be level then move slightly down then suddenly up. This jerk might give you slightly more Gs and the sensation you're talking about.

Just my .02
Exactly the answer I was looking for! Thank you sooo much! I am soo sitting from the wings foward from now on!
