Default Flight Kits/Cases with Wheels & Handle?

What is the deal with this? Why are people using these? The only excusable reason I could see for something like this is if it were a female pilot and she was pregnant.

I see European pilots do this; looks effeminate if nothing else.

I remember flying with a guy who's dad was a UAL pilot when rollerboards hit the scene. Same BS... real men carry their bags. Now, it would look bizarre to see a pilot carrying one.

My flight case is heavy, and I'd prefer wheels. Most of the time, I don't have an overnight bag to strap it to, so it gets carried.

Are you kidding me, couldn't you find something else to complain about. I had one I rarely rolled it... but I couldn't afford one of your official flight cases.. and it happened to be the biggest one I could find. I fit POH, FOM, MEL, 2 Jepp binders. a laptop my headsets and much more in it. It was the best flight case I have ever had.

Piper,

I am not complaining. I was making a topic for discussion.

Sure seemed to me like you were trolling.

I have something to complain about. Why are we not marching down the terminals? Why do we just walk like the rest of the common folk?

Just kidding...actually, I think we should all put wheels on our shoes and roll around the terminal with our wheeled flight cases.

I would have loved to have had a rolling Jepp case when I was carrying 8 Jepp books around.
