Don't think so.

Eastern had a case in MIA in the late 80's as I recall.
FedEx had a loader accidentally ride in the hold of a 727 a few years ago and the company dispatched a corporate jet to retrieve him.
UPS had a loader accidentally cross the Pacific in a 747 a while back I'm told.

Airbubba: Don't know who said it about UPS, but I don’t think it's true. I have been here since the beginning and I have never heard anything about it and believe me, that is something that I would have heard of as I get all of the dirt eventually. Beside, if he had, UPS would have charged him "Full Fare"!
