I am currently in sim training for the CRJ-200, and I am wondering which company to buy from and which size I should get for the crj? Any info would be great. thankyou

Pretty sure it's the same company. Any of the bags will fit in the CRJ overhead if you don't over pack them. Most get the standard carry-on size.

My PNT is:
8" Deep
14" Wide
22" Tall

Depth & width are the key for the CRJ overhead, anything more than 8x14 won't work.

It can be as long as you want...22" exceeds legal carry-on size, but they don't enforce that for crews anyway. The 22" will barely fit wheels first in a Boeing bin, so that's handy. In the RJ (and many MD bins) it has to go sideways.

This may surprise you but at Brookstone they actually have pretty good luggage. I actually just picked up a floor model rollaboard that was sitting in our back room for $50. Can't remember if it's 21 or 22 inches but it has tons of innovative pockets and lots of room, plus a fold out suiter for your shirts and a fold up toiletry kit. It's black "ballistic" nylon. Not sure if it would be considered "airline pilot capable" but working there for 2 years I've come to see which products are good and which are bad, and our luggage is probably some of the best stuff we sell.

Current price new I think is $125 or so, 30 day return period with receipt and in like-new contition. One year warranty for manufacturing defects only, must have receipt. No receipt, u get nothing.

By the way, Brookstone as a company has gone down hill and I can't take the nasty customers anymore so I handed in my notice the other day.

Got mine from the stopover store and it works great on the CRJ...

I have looked up these brands and they are way overpriced. Go to Wal-Mart, JC Penney, etc. and get you a decent rollaround for under $50. The luggage you are referring to only costs more because it is labeled as a flightcrew item.

PNT will last longer than anything you get at a department store. I don't think we have the same definition of decent and I want my equipment to be better than just decent.

Agreed, I went with a department store bag first and it didn't last a year. The PNT has metal edging, among other components that make it MUCH sturdier...

Also most things on the bag can be replace. wheels and other things.

I beg to differ.... my Travelpro that I got from luggageonline.com, HORRIBLE. After about 10 months one of the handles fell off, and it is a piece of junk...too many pockets make it bulky. After I got sick of looking ghetto walking through the airport---I sucked it up, paid for the PNT luggage and don't regret the purchase one bit. I DO regret buying a piece of garbage the 1st time. The whole flightcrew item thing---well, I am pretty impressed with the "flightcrew" items having a metal frame while others have a plastic frame at best.
