So the people do not fall, since they are essential inside of a vacuum (are they not?).

Pretty much correct. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion until acted on by something else. In this case the people and the plane are moving in the same direction at the same speed. If the plane changes direction (goes down) and a person is not attached to it, the person will still be going the same direction and speed as before...until the top of the plane meets their head.
