CRJ-700 Cooler+EFB Bag
I was wondering if anyone new of a good large cooler that will fit in the Kit Bag holder of the CRJ-700. Now that I don't need to lug around my 40lbs of charts manuals anymore, I'm looking for a large cooler that can accommodate my IPad + Mount + Battery all in one sleek package so I don't have carry a separate EFB case and separate lunch cooler.
I flew with an FO who had the AeroCoast one with the laptop attachment and his didn't fit. The largest one I can find that might work is the Nordic Cooler by luggage works. LUGGAGEWORKS NORDIC COOLER
If anyone else has any better ideas please post them.

I always love seeing RJs crews walking through the terminal looking like they're going on camping expeditions.
Is there some unwritten rule that the smaller your airplane, the more stuff you need to bring with you on a trip? Twice that if you're an FA?

Make sure you can put a bunch of stickers on it! Flying public likes seeing there pilots with backpacks and flight bags with stickers that say "I would rather be fishing", or "If you can read this, my bi$th fell off!"

I think that RJ crews tend to be younger and more health conscious, and many realize that airport and hotel food isn't that healthy. When you pack your own food you get what you want when you want it, independent of what airport or overnight you are at.

To the OP, I saw a guy modify his kit bag to hold all the IPAD stuff and have enough room to be a cooler in itself.

Uhhh lets see, because they make peanuts and can't afford to eat out everyday,and sometimes don't even have time to grab a burger on a quick turnaround.

If you are balls to the wall at Eagle and ask for a meal break before heading to your reduced rest overnight and it could delay the flight, the company will remove you from the flight. If you live on base you go home but if you are a commuter the crew room recliner will be your stay for the night. They are doing this if they have the staffing, currently they are limited but have been doing this for last few weeks.
Also telling the FA not to take a meal break and ask the pilots to get them food, then telling the pilots not to take meal breaks. Meanwhile swapping FA almost every flight to include outstations during 30 minute turns.
