I've never seen an ergonomic flight deck pubs bag storage design, maybe they exist somewhere, but not on Boeings. Flight bags are 30-40 lbs. and the repetitive stress from heaving flight bags into out of the storage takes it's toll over a career of carrying those darn things.

Yes. The flight bag storage arrangements are not good for rotator cuffs. After age 35 you should start doing weight routines to prevent injury.

Divorce. Treatment is expensive and usually not covered by medical plans.
