United Airlines investigates after baggage handler locked in cargo hold for flight
The aircraft involved in the January 1 incident appears to have been a Mesa Airlines (United Express) ERJ-175 operating UA6060.
Reports suggest that when the individual was released from the hold, he was unable to produce any ID, prompting an initial scare that he was a stowaway.
