I have even seen some grey haired CAs with backpacks. What's the thoght on non-black suitcases? Sorry about the HJ.

True. Going by the guys profile of Pt.91, his job probably entails showing up at the hangar/FBO, putting his stuff away, getting the plane ready, then greeting the peeps he's gonna fly that day. Then reverse the process at the end of the day/trip. Having little, if ANY time in airports commercial positioning in uniform whilst wearing a backpack.

As opposed to all the (insert Legacy/LCC/Cargo/Regional/Fractional pilots here) we've ALL seen at one time or another.

To the OP, I don't take a backpack, or any other form of man purse to work as I'm able to get all my crap in my roller.

But when I mountain bike/hike, I have an Opsrey brand top loader 33 litre daypack that has served me well. Has the water bladder slot, as well as external water bottle holders. It's proven to be a very tough/reliable piece of equipment and the "airscape" style spacing they design into the pack helps keep perspiration between my back and the pack to a minimum level.

I know they make a variety of sizes and styles that could be what your looking for, in more conservative/professional colors (black/dark gray, etc) that won't look out of place attached to a roller.

awesome, yes you are on-target with my desired use of backpack and my profile. Thanks !

I highly recommend this CamelBak® - Urban Assault™

Funny thing about backpacks and the young, entitled, 250-hour wonder, spiked hair, wrinkled shirt, sunglasses wearing RJ FO they are associated with. I have only seen one other person in their 20s with a backpack and he does not fit any of the other descriptions. On the other hand, about 50% of the time I see a United pilot step out of the crew room in EWR, they often are wearing a wrinkled uniform and are throwing a backpack their high school aged kid should have over their shoulder.

Where is the stereotypical young RJ FO I hear about all the time?

If APC had been around 25 years ago all the manly men on here would have been bit(hin about the young punks with there roll aboards.

travel backpack
 

Nothface is good quality travel backpack i like it in past. Now I have a new favorite among travel backpack and this is Vintage Duffel Bag. I switched to leather backpack as its are good to use and live long. The design and description of my travel backpack can be found here https://libertyreversemortgage.com/?...20-%20Standard

Hopefully the original poster has found the bag he wanted after 8 years of searching. Go away spambot!

I’m really surprised that Liberty Reverse Mortgage would be selling backpacks. I guess they are trying to diversify with the weak economy? Who’d of thought......
