It fits just fine except the rare time you have that power box thing in the center seat sometimes. Otherwise fits no problem.

The Paradox 22 fits the 37 fine too BTW.

Ive got a StrongBags 22” as a 737 driver—been great so far for over 9 years. For international fun travel I use packing cubes (basically small zipper bags that compress your clothes). It’s a pretty cool and inexpensive game changer.

I just got my flight deck case, and it's now a solid 9.5 inches with feet and wheels. This sadly will NOT fit in the side bin on the CRJs. Would 9.5 inches fit in the aircraft you fly? And what model aircraft do you fly? If it'll fit in larger aircraft I'll hold on to it, if not, big bummer.

The Flight Crew 5 is an outstanding, affordable, and durable choice. There is a reason why a good percentage of pilots, and nearly EVERY flight attendant in this country use them.

The FC5 series is pretty new in the big scheme of things. FA's do gravitate towards travel pro, but not any specific model.
The pilots go for the Flight Crew 5 pilot a bit more than other versions...
there is no better bag than the LGW stealth. 20 years on mine with one rebuild.
