I’m using the J hook with my Brightline cockpit bag. I’m looking for someone who can 3D print a tiny piece of plastic I can screw in to keep the hook in place if anyone has a business printing $.03 plastic and selling it for $10.
I love the B&R but the J hook design is a miss.

I’m curious if the B&R J hook strap will solve the falling-off problem?

I do the same with the J hook from an old LW bag threaded onto the B&R strap. Since it falls off so easily, I remove the strap and stow it in the Brightline flight kit whenever they’re not hooked together (loading into vehicles, etc)

My solution would be to throw that pos bag away and buy a smaller, lighter bag that doesn’t scream aircrew and meets the normal travel standards. The travelpro bag is about $200, basically a bar bill. These are petty things in the big picture of things. Not worth the hassle.
Your other option is to keep using that bag and get a hard time every single time you go through security while hoping they actually let you through with your bag

Clearly your solution doesn't work for everyone. I keep a 26 for occasional 6 day international trips, never had a problem with it, don't care if it "screams aircrew", and I don't care if some rogue TSA knob doesn't like it, perfect for hauling vino home from Paris and Rome.

including the FAs? man, in this day and age that's a disaster waiting to happen. One wrong joke or accidental touch in the presence of a readily offended FA and that could get you a ticket to an HR investigation or on the disciplinary track, stat. Even if you are eventually cleared, it's a lot of stress...and make no mistake, at Delta when it comes to that kind of allegation, you're guilty until proven innocent. Mix alcohol into the whole thing and there's a lot of downside there.
