P.S. I realise that your post may not have been "serious", but felt that before someone took your idea to heart, the above should be pointed out.
This is exactly the point I hoped someone would make. Now, let's suppose it is not a deliberate mid-air, but just one of the "very likely to occur in this situation" mid-airs! Or let's suppose that poor guy in the next flight station just looses control. I thank you for unknowingly help me to make my point!
I have no problem with the hovering, provided that it is done in a safe manner away from the flightline. As for rude flyers...I will always have a problem with them.
