A United Boeing 757-300, registration N73860 performing charter flight UA-3779 from Denver,CO (USA) to Toronto,ON (Canada) with the Colorado Rockies Baseball Team on board, was enroute when one of the coaches of the team was videotaped in the captain's seat. The aircraft continued for a safe landing in Toronto.

After the video was published on the coach's Instagram account, the occurrence became known to the FAA, who initiated an investigation - in the meantime the video has been removed from the account. The FAA confirmed the investigation however did not release any further details.

The airline said: "We’re deeply disturbed by what we see in that video, which appears to show an unauthorized person in the flight deck at cruise altitude while the autopilot was engaged. As a clear violation of our safety and operational policies, we’ve reported the incident to the FAA and have withheld the pilots from service while we conduct an investigation."
