I met this Southwest pilot on an overnight about a year ago and he was talking about this company he has selling crew luggage. Well his site is finally up and running and the stuff looks pretty good. Just thought I would share it in case no has heard of it.

Still too expensive for me...

ROSS sells luggage for $35. Once they bit that , then I will consider buying a "pilot" suitcase. I am a cheap ass with those non important things.

Looks like it has a telescoping handle. That is the only problem I had with the crewneeds bag. That type of handle is very fragile. My 2 cents.
 
All I can say is that handle looks like the one that just broke on my Wingman Luggage bag. They were suppose to have a lifetime warranty. I called and they are out of business. I can buy a new handle for 55+tax and shipping. Not sure if I am going to do that or just buy a new bag.
 
why the he11 would and dumba$$ engineer design a rollerbag with a laptop sleeve in the front like that??? The weight of your flightbag on the hook sandwiching your computer between it (the flightbag) and the cloths/items in the rollerbag as you bounce/bump way through the terminal is gonna wreck the laptop in short time.
 
Reason is: because it is designed by a pilot and not an engineer :eek: (did you not notice the escape hatch on the side?)
 
$250, marked down to $162? Please order now and we may get our product in-stock by mid-May.

Sounds a little suspect to me. Sure it's not someone's retirement plan?
 
I have a PNT...had for about 7 years. Older model, had some main zipper problems. But the thing is like a tank. It spent 6.5 years getting smooshed in the fwd cargo in the ATRah...now I have to force into the itty bitty closet in the barbie Jet. I look foward to getting a new one...I recomend em. Yes they are expensive...but will last longer than that Ross $35 job. I had one of those just before this bag.
 
Kudos to this individual for starting his own business. I'm sure it takes a lot of work to put something like this together. If I met him, I'd suggest one change to the website regarding the description of the rollerboard...

The following line needs some modification or clarification:

› Fits nicely in the 737 Cockpit Jumpseat

Or is that really where Southwest pilots store their overnight bags?
 
Crew bags go under the 2nd flightdeck jumpseat. The dimensions of the space don't allow for a standard 14"-wide bag to fit underneath it. You may have noticed that PNT has a "737 Stealth NG" bag that is only 13" wide. This is the reason.
 
Got it.

That line still needs some work...sounds like someone straps their rollaboard into the jumpseat.

I carry my laptop in such a bag (although it is the Luggage Works version) for a year now with no problems.
