Like others said, especially come winter time... 26" bag can get filled quickly. You used to be a Mesa guy, I would think you would have commuted to a 6 day reserve stretch at some point? You flying the -400 now at Delta?

4 days I go through 2 uniforms, 1 set of casual clothes and change underwear and undershirts every day. Add just a little more for 6 days and I still have plenty of room in my 22'. You're packing too much stuff.

Take is easy. Not everyone is you. I like to lift on my overnights so add 2 or 3 pairs of basketball shorts plus shirts, maybe shoot some hoops if there is court near by so add some bball shoes. I brings more than one pair of casual clothes as I have a little class and don't want to be seen in the same shirt and pants on every night of a 4 day trip. So you can easily fill a 26. I have the expandable 22 and it works perfect.

pilots, my god. :eek:

Try being 6'5, clothing is much bigger and so are shoes, among other things.

You guys are so high maintenance. You have to wear your clothes for at least 3 days per article in order for it to fully absorb your essence. Duh.

Not flying the -400. I changed to this pic to raise the Delta guys' blood pressure a few notches. Those guys are a special breed.

You need to try harder. Not once have I ever seen anyone mention it.

It kind of looks like the tractor Jeremy Clarkson drove on Top Gear a few seasons back.
