Name that Flight case
 
I was on a trip recently and saw a lot of pilots with the same roll aboard. It had a metal frame along the edges on the back with a metal handle that was wrapped with a round cover. I didn't get close enough to see what brand they were or have time to talk with one of the pilots or fa's that was using it. It looked nice and rugged. I could tell they had all been used for a while by all the little scratches in the blank paint on the metal on the edges. Anyone know?

Don't think that you mean the flight case... you're talking about an overnight bag, no?

It's a Purdy Neat Thing design.

The rampies treat them "extra special" I would not recomend getting them if your bags have to be stored in the cargo bin. They get slammed pretty good, they're heavier than normal roller boards.

They are bullet-proof, you can replace the wheels yourself, and you can get the whole thing refurbished at the factory when it starts to wear out...in fifteen years.

I tried the cheap ones, and the expensive ones, but none of them are designed for multiple daily crew legs except PNT. The $300 was worth it to not have to get my rollaboard fixed/replaced every six months.

Gotta agree with this. They might be heavier, but that's because they were build with the beef to stand up to how rampers treat luggage. I've seen mine fall out the luggage bin of a 777 (slid off the belt loader). No problemo - just a little scratch to the back of the bag.

I'd like to see any other brand than PNT survive that fall (while fully loaded for a 6 day trip) and not have something break or rip.

And it is a Piece o' S$%t. Mine is cooked after a little over a year and a half. The ABS cracks and there is no real good way to get it fixed. Get the Metal Frame.

It's the Purdy Neat bag...and it's a F%&^King tank. I highly recommend.
