Another regional airline screws it up:
 

You are crazy saying it can't happen. THIS IS AN RJ...the airplane is so small you couldn't hide if you wanted to. Maybe he was hiding in the overhead...oh wait I can bvarely fit my briefcase there. Way to go Mesa!!!

 
Kim P-C:
 

Please....anyone who flies with United and MESSA should know that there is no way to be left on a plane if you're in your seat. Post flight cleanup and preflight prep absolutely would not allow this to happen. This guy had to have gone out of his way to stay hidden. Bunch of crap if you ask me.
