Not unlike the FAA during the Obama administration apparently. Any short term benefit hoping to be realized by enforcing these practices are almost certainly outweighed by the eventual harm inflicted on everyone involved; and that ignores the dangerous precedent in principle these policies effect.

Most folks aren't taught the correct design eye point in the 757. If you can't see a $20 bill sitting where the glare shield meets the wind screen, you are too low!

Serious question, is this actually a problem? What's wrong with a backpack?

Wearing a backpack is standard issue here.

Ok Diego, no backpack, backpack. So where are we going to keep the map?

How long have you been here? 6 months?

What's next, lunch boxes?

I think the backpack is far less shocking than a Fedex pilot walking through the terminal in uniform

My main complaint about them are the clowns who board a pax aircraft WEARING them. Straps and random stuff hanging off them slapping people in the face or worse, the person turn slightly while moving down the aisle and bangs into two or three people's heads.

I think an adult who isn't actually on a hiking trail, a long distance bike ride or maybe a soldier out in the field looks a little silly wearing a back-pack. A pilot in uniform wearing a back-pack is borderline ridiculous. Get some grown up luggage.
