I paid $40, have had it 8yrs, traveled all over the world, and it's still in great condition. It can last 2yrs at a regional.
What does that have to do with any of this anyway? Are you implying that your college taught you to spend $300 on a bag? I know that would be completely stupid, however, that's the only reason your statement would have any relevance here.
Well then, I guess you in your little CFI world has got every little facet of this career figured out already, eh?
Question for ou there Mr CFI. In all these years of you vast expereince of traveling the globe, how much actual use did you bag ACTUALLY get? Did it get dragged, opened up, unpacked, repacked, tossed in and out of baggage compartments, slammed into the back of the hotel van, ect on average of 15 days a month?
I guess I'll tell you again, I must be an idiot for spending that kind of money on a bag that is still going strong after 6+ years of airline flying.
I'm usually not the condescending type, but I'll give it a shot here. It's great that you are grunting it out an instructing and all. But guess what, myself and alot of other people have already been there, done that.
If you actually want an airline job, just wait. When your bag gets tossed in the back on dead heads and commuted or dragged across the ramp through snow, sand, glycol, whatever, see if it's still hanging in there.
Oops, I forgot, I'm talking to an expert who already knows everything about this career, even the little stuff. Sorry. Maybe next time I have a question about my career or how to bid, ect, I'll just ask you since you are so knowledgeable.
If you are considering buying a type, YOU ARE AN IDIOT, PERIOD. Sorry, that one is not up for debate.
