Anyone know where to get a good flight case? Who is the best Scott leather? looking for something nice that fits well in the 737. Thanks
 
Try Coyote works out of Houston, They are built by pilots (Expressjet) I took a tour of their shop, pretty impressive and good quality leather, I bought one and like it.

Talk to Anil in Mumbai, he has a shop at the Oberi hotel. Can't remember his website but his email is [email protected]. Great bag and think it is around 100 or 120. Plus engraved name plates. Not sure what shipping will cost you, but send him an email and he will get you his website. A lot of NWA and DAL guys get bags from him! LOA
 
Catalog case from Office Depot/Max...$39.00. Fits the 737 perfectly and lasts for years.

Something like this:

The one I like is vinyl softsided with two bayonette clips that close the top flaps. I spent over $400 on my first kit bag 15 years ago and I am still an FO so you might as well go cheap!

Unit
Squeeker

P.S. Found the case I use:

It is around $50 at Office Depot/Max

Good choice! Anil Bakhru is the owners name! Known him personally for the year and a half that I was flying to BOM. Bought everything from flt bag to bomber jacket from him. You will not be disappointed with anything you get from him. If you ever need something worked on that you bought from him, he will do it for no charge.(little more difficult if you don't fly there). You can send him anything or pics of anything and he will make it exactly like what you sent.
As far as shipping I would believe what he tells you. I am not sure about payment either(I always paid cash in person). But would trust him totally.
Good luck! LOA

I just got a flight bag as well as an airway manual from Coyote Works. Outstanding operation. The products are top quality. They're not cheap, but they're done right. They re-did both my flight bag and airway manual on their own because they didn't quite like the finished product. Top notch guys to work with.

I emailed those guys. They never responded....well I got an automated response that said they will be in touch. They never were.

Guess I'll buy the Scott.

Sorry bud, that's weird...everytime I called them they either answered or called back right away. Give them another chance, you won't regret it.

Sorry to hear that. I don't have any experience with the company, but from what I've heard their customer service is usually top-notch.
 
I have had a Tumi for 12 years, it looks new still. It has a life time warrenty so when the little wheels wear out once a year they send me new ones for free. I spent like $400 for it but I like to buy the right item once and keep it as opposed to replacing it every couple of years.

So, of all the cases you guys have experience with, which one do you like better? Scott, Coyote, or Jepp?

I'm on my second Jeppesen bag. The handle broke on my first and they sent me new one. The second handle broke as well.

I rigged it with a "home-made" handle from the hardware store. It works for now, but I will never by a Jeppesen bag again.
 
A couple of years ago I got a Korchmar bag (spelling may not be right...it's up in the pilot office right now). Ran a search on the web and found one that was equal to some of the Scott bags and went for about $50 cheaper. Good leather, still in good shape, have plenty of room still and it works in the 737 just fine. Good luck...

Almost the same thing happened to me, but they responded after I bought the Scott. Has anyone put the Skid Plates on their scott bag?
 
Ya... I went with the Scott and it's been great so far!! I didn't bother getting the skid plate, but my bag doesn't drag off my roller board so I shouldn't need them.
