Has anyone used Brightline bags before for their flightkit? Did it live up to expectations? How is the quality? I don't care about the modular design, but I am a sucker for accessible pockets and I've yet to see something similar.

It's a bit too large for 737 optimum cockpit use. It will hold ONE Bose head clamp headset that many 737 pilots use, not two full sized ones.
Find I have to roll the seat full forward to put the bag in/out of the side cockpit bag slot. When you're commuting on a tiny CRJ, you might have to separate the bag in twain to fit in the overhead compartment. Heavy duty zipper makes it easy to splice together again.
Otherwise, I'd recommend. The carrying handle has a carved out space for the j-hook on your regular luggage. There's space in there for separate electronic devices (2 iPads and a kindle for me) in different pockets.
Takes a couple of trips to figure out what goes where, but after that, it's awesome.
