Air Canada reviewing how crew left passenger on parked plane

Air Canada said Sunday it's looking into how crew members could have disembarked from a plane without noticing a sleeping passenger who was left behind.

Would not want to be an AC exec right about now. This will play out for a while (the bad PR, the security/regulatory aspect, the lawsuit).

I guess it says quite a bit about diligence of flight crew during & after descent, cleaning after a flight, and their security procedures .

I have seen a fair bit of skepticism online questioning if this actually did happen.

Yet it would be strange if Air Canada acknowledged something that didn't happen.

My understanding is that AC is currently investigating the allegation. It's yet to be determined how this occurred.

I woke up on a train at Hornsby (Syd) rail yard once. Train lights where all on though. When I pushed the call button, the guard came straight on and said "don't worry mate, we are heading back in about 15 minutes" (obviously knew I was there / seen it all before). After work bevvies huh?

Commuters on the Northern Beaches Bendy bus services would remember the L90. The longest bus service in Sydney between Wynyard and Palm Beach.
I wanted to get from Wynyard to Dee Why but actually got off at Mosman...on the other side of the road. See, At Palm Beach they just turn around and rinse/repeat back to Wynyard...

Shortly after the 9/11 attack I was on AA transiting MIA to MCO. All the pax and crew got off leaving the coughpit wide open and me on the aircraft alone. I was very concerned that security would rush on ask me what the hell I was doing there and drag me off with my hands tied behind my back. After some time the the cleaners got on and nobody paid me the least bit of attention. Very lax.

I'm guessing that you've never done that again.

This isn't the first time it's happened.
