Are you the guy with the mask?

It’s like an eyes wide shut thing but yes

It’s an ALPA fanny pack, so it’s cool

There is also only one color suitcase and it’s black. Period.

I put the straps under my epaulets so people still know.

I would guess 90% of UPS pilots use a company provided backpack.


Way easier to climb the stairs then a flight bag.

And Heely’s make gliding through the terminal easier too. You could be on to something here…

While I don't use a backpack, I have often thought about making one my flight bag. I like to hike on overnights and it would be nice to be able to dump the flight stuff out and have the backpack for water, food, phone etc. Not sure I would ever use it as intended in an airport though, but rather have it on the J hook like a normal bag.

They make ultra lightweight backpacks that collapse into the size of two pairs of socks. Works great for layover day hikes or trips to the store.
