From everything I've heard, both the Dash and the Saab are just slightly roomier than an RJ. Any normal case should work. This reminds me, did anyone else see in the opening presentation that they provide flight bags? It was talking about uniforms and stuff and then one of the included items was a flight bag. Did I imagine this? Either way, I'd wait until we get to class to order one if you don't already have one.

You know, I wouldn't think they would, but I swear I saw it on one of those slides along with the changes with the new contract like single occupancy rooms in training, etc. I've got a kit bag on wheels that I use for my current job with mostly day trips, but it's pretty wide with the roller assembly. I'm thinking about getting a Purdy Neat ballistic bag.

I think that is the one thing they dont give. Im not positive but I think it said they dont provide flight bags.

Alright, well I just emailed BM so perhaps that'll get to the bottom of this.

I have the luggage works ballistic nylon flight case and it fits just fine in the Saab. Something much bigger than that and you might have trouble. Also, be careful of getting too tall of a flight case as a Captain just did and he couldn't get his seat all the way forward because his case hit the armrest.
