You can if there’s nothing on the floor below the coat rack. Even then, the bag will have to slide back on its side.

For what it’s worth, a few months back the Chief Pilot Support center folks (or whatever they’re called now) instructed me to call the 800-MY***** number to inquire about my pay issue. It was option choosing hell that eventually led to being disconnected. Gotta love Delta IT!
Next I called the CPO and one of the wonderful ladies there got me VFR direct to someone who could actually help—and did help!
Keep that option in your hip pocket if you need it.

Yes it fits the 26” is not an issue. Your bag ( 26 or 22”) will however slowly get ripped over time as one of the “ribs” under the jumpseat will catch your bag every time. If this happens do not force your bag out but reach in and compress the side compartment that is facing the Captains seat.

Another brilliant design feature by Boeing, but in their defense rolling suitcases did not exist when the 737 was designed in the late 1950s or early 1960s :eek:

Scoop

Be aware some agents in ATL are requiring crew to check the 26” bags non reving and deadheading.

And the flight the crew is working at the other end will be delayed.

One thing to add. One 26” fits nicely on the bottom. You can actually stack another 26” on top but this will block the jumpseat from falling into place. A 22” on top does not cause this issue.

Scoop

Just say no?

Im curious what travel needs on a 737 trip would require the large international bag?

With the pub kits gone there is plenty of room for a generous piggyback bag for a 22" bag.

I ditched my crew bags wen i came bak to dom 737.hav used a 4 wheel 22" hard side bag and piggyback bag.

Save you back and shoulders. And make the van drivers happy while ur at it.

The weight difference between the 26” and 24” is negligible.

And we have 5-day trips.

And now the side pockets are unusable.

I know someone who tried that. It did not go well for him. Tough to argue when the agent has company policy on their side.
