I do, yes. And, yes, I am familiar with the 787 wheel well. While I agree it is not as small as, say a 737 well, the body of a grown man would still be visible if care was taken during the walk around. We all know those whose walk-around inspections are not truly inspections, but rather literally just a walk-around (It can get chilly and windy in Chicago after all...) Roast me all you want, but if this stowaway did originate in Sao Paulo, it definitely should have been caught by MX or flight crew before the flight to Maui.

when did this Săo Paolo theory first start? Was that the WGN reporter?
At this point in time, a deceased body has been found and the identity of which has not been made public. It is as much a criminal investigation as it is a company investigation.....once the victim has been identified we will know more.
I know this: somebody was found dead, and that condition is not the responsibility of the pilot assigned to do a walk around.

Troll alert. A quick review of this worstpilotever's posts shows he loves bashing United and ALPA. Judging from his posts I doubt he has any clue about the 787 or its wheel wells. WRT this incident let's just say it is not the first time this has happened.

Not sure where 'here' is, but you sure spend a lot of time on United's forum talking about things you obviously know little about. Interesting.
