    you do they are just very subtle with the exception of Take off and landing. Another factor is a commercial airliner does not perform ariel monouvers as strenuous as a combat aircraft might

    Ahh...but you do.

    You'll constantly experience 1g acceleration towards the center of the earth and, on takeoff and landing, you will experience G-forces toward the front or back of the plane on the order of 1/2 G.

    You don't experience higher G-loads because commercial airliners don't maneuver violently enough (usually) to generate the centripetal forces that you would notice....which is probably a good thing since probably at least half the passengers would vomit if they did.
