## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, AT 5000 FT MSL, HAD A DOORS WARNING AND LOSS OF PRESSURIZATION. THE DOORS PAGE SHOWED THE AFT CARGO DOOR IN RED. AFTER RETURN TO FIELD, GROUND CREWS SAID THE CARGO DOOR HANDLE WAS NOT FLUSHE,  PERFORMED GVI OF LATCH AND OPS CHECK OF AFT BAGGAGE DOOR IAW MM 52-31, AND 05-52-00.  NO FAULTS NOTED OK FOR CONTINUED SERVICE.
