I didn't know the Embraer 170 was a 50 seat aircraft.. Thanks, Richmond Times!

Gotta love those "credible" news sites!

This happens once every few years. Rampers like to take naps, and the cargo bay is a good place to do it....sheltered, dark, out of sight. He was probably trying to hide from the boss.

Didn't this happen on Alaska a few years ago?

I don't understand why this is national news. The media are really stupid when it comes to aviation.
