## Discrepancy

SEA - FLIGHT 2442 - THE CREW ABORTED THE TAKEOFF AND RETURNED TO THE GATE WHEN A BAGGAGE DOOR WARNING WAS RECIEVED. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND BAGGAGE DOOR AND FOUND THE BAGGAGE DOOR HANDLE NOT SECURE. THE DOOR HANDLE WAS SECURED PROPERLY. OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
