Please find a better day trip bag that’ll hold a spare change of underwear, a tooth brush and the company iPad. Until we stop doing 75% 1/2 day trips the backpack is the way to go.
(I am anti both straps over the shoulder however, at least in the terminal) There are tons of day trip bags out there that don’t look like you’re going to the gym or 2nd grade math class. If you think strolling up to your gate with a backpack over 1 shoulder looks acceptable as an airline pilot, you’re in the minority for sure. Rationalize it all you want, it looks ridiculous. |

If you’re wearing a backpack with your pilot uniform you look ridiculous and further, if you have on both shoulders you make the guy next to you look like he’s dropping you off at preschool. I don’t care if it’s tumi, you look like an idiot.
There is also only one color suitcase and it’s black. Period. Utterly ridiculous and unprofessional is the only way to describe someone who thinks a 🤬 backpack is a good idea with a pilot uniform. |

Reminds me of the NorthFace argument people make or the sweater argument people make. People who wear non approved uniform items but say “I press my shirt and I’m not overweight”, thinking that’s a pass for the uniform.

At this airline I’d argue not “looking acceptable as an airline pilot” is the majority. No one presses their shirts or hems their pants (assuming the pants are even the right color) to a length that says “I’m a professional”

If you swear by the layover utility of a backpack, take it to any tailor, have them double stitch a flap of cordura across the area that would be at your mid back, but leaving a 6-8in gap in the middle. Now when you extend the handle of your luggageworks you can slide the handle through that gap and transport it like you would a headset/chart bag.
Boom. Twenty bucks and you can carry a backpack without looking like a middle schooler, and the flap will sit flat when you wear it around town. Case closed. |
I’m guessing the majority of people on here that are *****ing are also wearing north face jackets and the wrong color pants. By the way, I’ve been double strapped for a while…..oh, wait, backpacks. Never mind.
