Cause the old hard cases covered in peeling stickers looked so professional.

If we manned up and acted like a cohesive union, we could wear clown noses and propellers on our head and still get an industry leading contract.

It's also hard to tell which backpacks contain FFDO weapons.

Let 'em go. Find something more substantial to fret about.

Why do you care which bags contain FFDO weapons?

I don't. Backpacks are a convenient way to carry them, and certainly more concealed than the standard-issue bag. I'd be happy if EVERY backpack had an FFDO weapon, so I'm not going to criticize ANY pilot who carries one.

👍 Thought you were headed another direction with that.

I second the free hand in the stairs logic, but I reserve the right to heckle anyone whose backpack has a retractable handle and wheels.

Daaaaaaaaaa what?

I see your point. Except, 1) it’s fairly standard across the profession to carry a backpack, thus it can be considered professional. 2) I’m all about function. At 5a.m. walking down icy metal stairs after a long night I don’t need to be carrying my suitcase in one hand and my leather bound briefcase in another. 3) my guess is you are either a management type, strive to be a management type, or at one time was at the grade of O5 or O6 (on active duty).

Swiss Gear Synergy is a company-issue option at UPS; it has a top grab strap that fits around our issued Travelpro handles so it rides well if you don't want to carry it on your shoulder for some reason.

I've seen a few folks use tactical-type sling packs like the 5.11 Moab 10, but that's a bit minimalist in size for my preference.
