Were there passengers on board or did the guy just steal an empty plane?

No mention of passengers, other crew or a flight number. The conversation with ATC sounds like he was alone.

We are aware of an incident involving an unauthorized take-off of a Horizon Air Q400. We believe there are no passengers on board. More information as we learn more.
