As long as it's not a backpack. I'm so tired of seeing some tool with a backpack walking through the terminal. It's embarassing and demeaning to the profession.

I do not know of any, but why do you want a flight bad on wheels?

And you aren't planning on changing your clothes??? Ever find yourself alone at the overnight?

Here ya go:

Sam's Club - Leather-Look Rolling Catalog Case

I've had mine going on 3 years now. It's held up pretty well. It'll fit all that you need. Even if you need to stick some food and some clothes in there, also all your charts. It'll fit in the 145, just make sure the wheels face in, they hang over the side of the bag spot. It's hard for the seat to slide all the way over, but it'll go with some force. The bottom on mine is getting a little worn, but it's held up well for $50 for 3 years of use.



Just google "Rolling Chart Case" and find the best price. That should fit your criteria.

Cheers.

How do you figure?

I've met a number of guys who bring backpacks with them on standups. I didn't find anything embarrassing or unprofessional about it.

Lots of guys used the ones from office depot, you have to have the feels face the seat, or else it'll fit all acie-ducie. If your 130-145 has the full "box" as opposed to the shelf (we've got some with boxes, and some wish shelves) then i'd assume it wouldn't fit, or will sit up on the ledge.

I wish you the best of luck though day tripper, If you leave home without an overnight bag, the Murphy's Law Ferries will visit you, and you'll find yourself broken down in Minot, and your airline will be low on aircraft, and you'll be camping for a week.....oooh, what stinky underwear you have.
