Not very professional looking IMHO

And he had probably been on duty for about 16 hours at that point or just had his layover in the office/trailer.

Maybe the FDX guy just got off a 12 hr leg through 7 times zones.
I'm not sure I agree with carrying two rollaboards and a flight kit on a 5 to 10 day international trip, just so passengers that just paid $39 for a ticket will admire me.
For those of us that commute, backpacks fit under the seat freeing up overhead space on the passenger flights and while operating the freighters it helps save space, since bag space is limited to start off with.
