Probably want the carbon fiber frame... same suitcase we've always used but much, much lighter than the traditional steel frame. If you commute I'm not sure if the carbon frame can take the same abuse as the steel, but I assume it's pretty tough.

My next one will be carbon for sure, but I don't commute.

Still do. I personally dark uniform shirts, you don't look like slob if you spill a little coffee or catch a little oil on the walk around.

Yeah, the Carbon is 11.5 lbs versus 14 lbs for the Stealth.

The dark brown isn't bad, I thought it was closer to the driver's uni brown for some reason.

I use the stealth and always liked it, although it’s in need of repair. Didn’t even realize there was a Carbon. I’ll have to check it out

UPS definitely the worst with the new United uniforms coming in second.

UPS has dark brown pants and blazer (which almost nobody wears), white pilot shirt, and brown hat (that again, almost nobody wears).

The current dark brown looks much better than the lighter brown through the mid-00s.

I bought the Carbon a while ago. Expensive, but so much easier to haul around airports.
Carbon is stronger than steel in this kind of abuse.

I wouldn't trust a pilot who buttons his coat like that.
