E170/175 drivers
 
Quick question- is there any room up front for a rolling bag? I have the luggage works 26" (it's humongous) but wondering what kinds/sizes of bags will fit in the cockpit for crew members. Thanks.

atr42flyer 09-17-2013 07:27 PM

depends on if they order the option for the flight bag up front. Some models have a spot for it behind the fo seat some dont just depends.

26" doesn't fit on FO side.

prior121 09-17-2013 09:59 PM

Won't fit. Put it in back in the overhead.

If you commute, just buy the 21" stealth by LW. It fits in the CRJ/ERJ bins barely. But knowing where your stuff is and who is touching it, is priceless.

Temocil27 09-18-2013 04:12 AM

Thanks for the help I was afraid of that. The 22" fits?

DashTrash 09-18-2013 04:20 AM

The 22" will fit on the FO's side. The 26" fits on the CA's side, barely though (it lies on its side). The 26" will not fit on the FO's side however.

Why would any regional pilot need the 26"? Those are made for people who will be on much longer trips.

If you commute to a crash pad for 5 days. Need a couple uniforms, five days of clothes, footwear, toiletries, etc. Hard to fit in the 22"

So a 6 day stretch of reserve plus possible days on the front and back commuting won't give you enough stuff to fill a 26"?

Any other words of wisdom?

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.

I'm curious about the responses saying that a 22" fits on the FO side.

How? Are there different cockpit configurations that allow a bag to be stored on the FO side? S5's aircraft (physically) don't allow the FO's bag to be stored nearly anywhere on his/her side and some of the aircraft have a silly permanent box anchored to the floor behind the Captain's seat that precludes anything being stored there.

I have put my 22' upright and sitting lengthwise in front of the observer's audio panel behind the FO's seat, but that was only if I was trying to make a quick connect for a commute home and the front closet wasn't an option. This made for a very tight fit since I couldn't slide the seat back very far and an observer would have made it impossible.

How do you guys store them on the FO's side?

I imagine its like some of our 190's on the F9 and Caesars side. There is a tall compartment with a built in space that will accommodate a roller board.

MrMustache 09-19-2013 12:29 PM

CP's planes have the compartment cut out in/below the observers audio panel. Capt side has no box that you speak of either.

avi8tor4life 09-19-2013 12:43 PM

Lets clarify, we are talking about a "Roll-a-board" not a "roller board". :)

Cool! Do you know if the AA birds have this?

Cool! Where's the observer's audio panel, then? I've never been in a 190 flight deck except to beg for a ride once.
On top of the compartment. Same spot, just higher.
