Would a plain jane backpack I got in the Air Force fit in cockpit ?
I understand about the money issue. We're all there to some extent.
Generally backpacks are frowned upon in the airline world, although some do it. I don't know if there's a policy against it.
I do know I got my LW bag reimbursed well after I bought it, so you can hold on to your receipts and submit it after you get your first payment to your uniform bank, which is at one year.
