Pilot rollerboards vs flight bags etc
 

What exactly do i need as an airline pilot, confused what exactly pilots carry with them on trips? Any help please.

You'll obviously need a flight case to hold manuals, Jepps, etc....
You'll need an overnight rollerboard and the recommended website above will work for that.

Here's a pretty good deal on a rollerboard on eBay...

I just got a Scott case. I expect it to last the rest of my career. Very high quality. And made right here in the US.

I also have a roll aboard bag from www.purdyneatthings.com. And the attachable duffel bag.

Food cooler bag from e-bags. Bring your own food. Ice packs for a buck or two from Walgreens. You will save the cost of the bag each trip if you bring your own food. No joke.

I personally use the purtyneat 22" exec abs plastic bag from stopoverstore.com and a chart case from officemax.com The purty bag is like $220ish i think and I only spent about $50 on the chartcase/flight bag. I figure I will wait to buy the expensive flight case till I figure out just what I want. Everyone I talked to loved the purty neat- plus its the biggest that will fit in the CRJ overhead. If you are flying an embraer or mainline you may have a much bigger overhead and/or flight case compartment. If you are flying a CRJ you will not be able to get a flight case with wheels- they are too big.

Agreed, although the ERJ's overheads aren't all that big. My 22" PNT Stealth will barely fit, and the first time I did it I was scared I was going to break the bin's door. As for a wheeled flight case, that'll work just fine in the Embraer. Personally, I use the Samsonite 398 from www.crewgear.com. It's under $70 and a lot more durable than my Office Depot specials were.
