CYEG
Had an "All clear-ready for push-back" from the Ground Handler and was just waiting for the APU to come up to speed when there was an amazing rythmic pounding coming from the fwd belly.
Mentioned this to the girl on the headset so they checked it out.
One very pissed off baggage guy climbed out of the plane... Seems the door was closed when he was behind some bags so he was not visable.
The guy in the belly thought it was a practical joke and figured he would "out wait" his crew but when he heard the APU start up that's when the joke was over and he started to panic.
After that incident the YEG ground crew required a "head-count" before push-back...
What if:
The baggage handler had completed the flight in the belly?
or...
He had been injured on rotation, landing, or worse an RTO?
or, or, or...
Who's head would roll? Take a W.A.G.!
