    Long story short, JetBlue guy falls asleep in the cargo hold, wakes up in the air. Thankfully, it was a short flight (JFK-BOS) so he was ok.

    Good thing he didnt get hurt! Could've been dangerous.

    Everyone has heard of terror stories of frozen rampers.

    So the guy just fell asleep, that's a relief; I thought it was some new non-rev travel class.

    When I was working for Kitty Hawk Air Cargo, we had a guy fall asleep in the aft bin on a 727 heading for PDX and GEG.
    Since the aft bin was "empty", the PDX staff did not even open it and so the guy flew on the GEG.
    Needless to say, he was fired when he got back to MHR.

    It is possible to open the bins on a 727 from the inside so it's a good thing he didn't try it while in the air.

    I remember having to do a head count one time because a captain radio'd back saying that he heard someone banging on the ceiling of the bin in flight.. It turned out not to be anything, but the part that I found alarming was the fact that they decided to simply keep flying even though the bin was not pressurized.
