It has more of a structure than a kid's backpack. Thus, it doesn't look all that much like one... unless you actually wear it on your back.

Small but expands to hold quit a bit, clips right on to the LW bag plus has a j-hook and over-the-handlebars attachment.

God.....

Did they at least throw in a skateboard and some Beats headphones? What about blinky wheels for your rollaboard.

Call me old-fashioned, but damn. We are supposed to be airline pilots. We ain't catching the bus to middle damn school.



The bag is designed as an EFB bag, but because it is tapered at one end instead of finishing at a 90 degree angle on each side, its not fit for an airline pilot?

I wouldnt buy this bag, I dont like the size, but to act like a pilot shouldnt use a practical bag because it doesnt fit the PanAm 1960's image of what a pilot should be, nah...

Just saying...

I see more and more pilots actually wearing backbacks and such. Looks real stupid.

If we don't look like professionals, how in the world can we ever expect to be treated like professionals?

I understand what you are saying, but I dont see how an EFB bag that is on your flight case, that looks like a backpack, is unprofessional?

I would say that as long as a pilot is adhering to whatever uniform policy their airline has, you are "looking" professional. But I might argue that "acting" like a professional is more important to being treated as one, versus looking like one.

But I understand your point, just trying to view it subjectively and not what individuals may feel is ok and not ok, because you'll get a 1,000 different answers on that is allowed or shouldn't be.

I use the Canadian Ice Flight Crew Cooler. It is a superior cooler with great insulation.

Contrail. Designed by an America West pilot. I have the 390 from them. Great bag. Fits under seats, rugged and well made, well organized, and looks good.

I have to give it to those who shell out big bucks for a quality cooler..I carry a lot of food and sometimes am embarrassed at my setup but can't afford much, so be it. Marshalls's Home Goods luggage on discount and mismatched neon green lunch box ;) if you see me you'll know me

Thats a great looking bag, hefty price tag. Assume yours had held up well over the years?
