The handle finally ripped off my flight case. I got a backpack. It is nice, because if I want to carry it, it has a really comfortable handle, and if I want both hands free, or I'm going a long way, I backpack it. Will need to get a new one though, then I get my new 17" laptop...this one will only handle a 15" laptop.

There is a company who makes nice leather flight cases that are about a 75% approximation of the old scotts ones. Sucks Scotts is out of business.

I use this works well & is not heavy like the other flight cases hold a couple 2in Jepps just fine!

Big fan of the Timbuk2 Commute messenger bag as it has a pass through that slides right over the Luggageworks handle. Plenty of pockets and a zippered fold down compartment for a laptop and Ipad.

Just go to Walmart and get you a 15 dollar backpack , some ear buds for you ipod, some hair gel to make your hair stiff n straight and some dorky white shades to stick on your head and you will be a certified goofball rj gear slinger.Dont forget the clogs for your feet.
Certified doofus. I see them every day.Pilots with backpacks just looks unprofessional and retarted to me.
Seriously though if you're carrying jeeps I would opt for the luggage works flight kit, more durable and can handle the heavy jepps and all your other crap.Efk, them definitely something lighter and smaller.

Or get something like this for $29.99. Plus 11% this labor day weekend. I use it as my GA flying IFR bag. Fits everything including my, Jepp charts, bose Xcase and manuals inside of it. Not for everyone but for the money it was a great deal.

Who the heck is carrying jeeps around?!?
I don't think any kind of bag is going to do that job.

I second the Travelpro FlightCrew 4, or Crew 9, line. Got mine from LuggagePros.com and they price-matched a competitor. Might also try Quality Flight Crew Merchandise for Airborne Professionals | The Flight Attendant Shop
