Seems like a very interesting decision by the pilot to avert certain crash and destruction.

With Zemeckis and Washington, this is surely going to be a "Must Watch" and a "Must Download" for the collection. Thanks Dada. Is this based on a real story?

Practice, and only Practice will make you perfect
quote

Written by John Gatins (“Dreamer: Inspired By a True Story,” “Real Steel”), FLIGHT tells the redemption story of “Whip” (Washington), a commercial airline pilot who pulls off a heroic feat of flying in a damaged plane, saving 98 lives on a flight carrying 106 people. While the world begs to embrace him as a true American Hero, the everyman struggles with this label as he is forced to hold up to the scrutiny of an investigation that brings into question his behavior the night before the doomed flight.

I had read this somewhere, I don't remember where, but it said that this film is inspired by the story of pilot Robert Piche and of the Air Transat Flight 236. It was featured in one of the episodes of Air Crash Investigations wherein the pilot made an emergency landing after it lost all power due to fuel exhaustion. It burst 6 tires while landing and the pilot glided the Airbus 330 longer than any other commercial aircraft. Piche was immediately praised as a hero but later he and his co pilot were assigned partial responsibility for the incident.

What was the rationale behind the pilot (played by Denzel Washington) in the movie "Flight" ? 

Taking a passenger jet inverted sounds like a crazy idea.  Have you watched it already ?

For whatever reason, (I have not seen the movie or parts thereof) the plane was pitching downward. Asking for "down" trim and rolling to inverted, would be equivalent to "up".

Only logical reason I can think of - other than for making a spectacular movie!
