Having either one of the above would then allow you to have a crew cooler as well. A lot of guys use the eBags Crew Cooler which seems to work well.

You should stick to all black. If you're just going to be carrying a company & perhaps personal iPad and headset of choice. A LuggageWorks Flight Cube will work great. If you want to carry a laptop as well I bought a Contrail Bags 440 and it works great and fits in the bucket just fine so long as you don't stuff it too full.

Generally backpacks are frowned upon in the airline world, although some do it. I don't know if there's a policy against it.
I do know I got my LW bag reimbursed well after I bought it, so you can hold on to your receipts and submit it after you get your first payment to your uniform bank, which is at one year.

I understand about the money issue. We're all there to some extent.

Best to keep a low profile and blend in in one's probationary year. If a $90 bag helps one do that, money well spent, especially considering what the noobs are making these days.

There's some truth to that, and there's also some truth to the spikey haired regional FO wandering through the terminal with his backpack over the shoulder and ear buds in.
