I have seen more and more leaving luggageworks for briggs&Riley.I have seen a few pilots and even more flight attendants switching to the 4 wheel spinner. The ones I have talked to are actually enjoying the spinner over the two wheel bag.

Luggage works bags are slowly disappearing. They’re still the majority as most pilots are too cheap to replace a bag that works, but the luggage works bags are extremely heavy. They are poorly built these days. Most common problem is the screws start coming out and zippers break. They are also metal which means they destroy everything they touch. Examples include car paint, torn seats, etc. The luggage works were originally designed to support a full flight bag which used to be heavy when we carried paper manuals and charts. Any 2 wheel black bag will do these days.

My newer LW bag has lasted half as long, has more broken zippers/torn fabric, screws falling out etc than the previous one with much less road warrior-ing.
After 15 years, time to try something new.

I've had a B&R for ten years. Had it refurbished for free at some point. It looks a helluva lot better than a LW. I'm probably switching to a spinner though, which I don't see many pilots using.
