Preferred Pilot Flight Case for 737??
I was curious on which pilot flight case is preferred for the 737 cockpit at UA? Which bag fits well in the cockpit but also has enough room for the manuals and IPad? Thanks in advance!

+1 on the above.
No expertise on the 737, but my old used flight case was left in the crew room for 6 years, untouched, by a departed employee.
It's worn, it's tired, but the stickers stay on it, so that's good enough for me.

They all fit. I've used smaller leather ones, and big nylon ones. The ones with outside pockets seem to fit a little tigher, but I still use it (nylon with side and front pockets).
If you are UAL too, don't spend too much, they are going away- someday.

There are inexpensive kit bags at Staples and similar that have wheels and retracting handles. If you do a lot of turns and fly without a suitcase, these are great and fit the 737 fine.
Some of the really wide ones, though, interfere with the 737 seat as it tracks outward, so look for skinnier bags if you can.
