That bag rocks... fits in the Bro overhead!

jdflight · August 16th, 2007, 13:24

I use the TPro. Had it for over two years. I think the axle is failing, but other than that, it's been fine. And I threw it in the back of the Brasilia for a year. I've heard really good things about StrongBags.com. Similar design and as sturdy as the PNT, but half the weight. That's what I've heard, anyway.

And I'll say it though it's been said before. No matter how much you argue, you will not convince me that returning an airline used Costco bag every two years for a free new one is not stealing. It is, plain and simple.

Hey DE727UPS.....Can you tell me if Brand X is representative of the types of people at UPS. He hasn't posted a single worthwhile thing so far here at JC and certainly makes UPS look bad.

I don't care how much money you make.....his attitude is horrendous and the sooner people like that are out of the industry, the better.

Any opinions from you regarding the UPS pilot group????

I certainly don't feel bad about it. If it causes me to buy a $50 dollar costco membership every time I return it, they probably still make money. Not to mention the other stuff I might by there since I went to the trouble of getting a membership just for that bag. I don't make a habit of looking a gift horse in the mouth.

If the bag breaks after two years, and the company stands behind its product enough to offer replacement if it does break, how is this stealing...?

MQAAord · August 16th, 2007, 16:16

We bought the Costco bag partly because of the guarantee, but we will not return it if it is not broken. If it does break, then we will certainly take advantage of the guarantee.

Maybe I'm not a UPS pilot. Maybe I'm just a poser. I might be a flightsim ace that knows more about flying than YOU do. I do read airliners.net, so I am informed about aviation and the airlines.

Exactly??? Look Brand X.....there are a ton of good people here on JC. We try to help each other out. I'm kinda confused why you feel the need to continually post negatively or condescendingly. You 'supposedly' are in an excellent position within the industry. A great spot to affect change for your fellow professional pilots...either by helping them to climb the ladder via an internal referral or assisting by sharing your years of wisdom.

But you don't! Ever! Instead, you come here and try to make others look stupid or make them feel bad. So please forgive me if I don't fully understand your motives for being here. The best I can figure at this point is that no one likes you and you come here to take out your revenge on others. Prove me wrong....do something nice today!

The kids a troll, flamebait, whatever you want to call it

He sits behind his computer playing FSX (over the VATSim network so he can wear his headset), and reads A.net enough to think he has a better grasp on the industry than those of us who work in it... oh well I guess I should listen to this guy:

Yeah, I called him out as a troll weeks ago and I got reprimanded for doing so. But yet he's still here posting nonsense over and over again.

Not sure which beer commercial that was, and I'm probably dating myself in the process.....

I got a TP Crew4 (I believe) for Christmas. I've used it a few times and it seems pretty sturdy. I'm taking it on one of my whirlwind trips next month so we shall see if it holds up.

drummerboy · August 23rd, 2007, 13:34

PNT Stop Over Stealth!

It may seem like a gimmick but the stabilizer strap is the way to go. Firmly holds my flight kit in place while other people's are swinging around getting caught in doors ect.

I honestly don't know why you got reprimanded. I mean, IF "Brand X" is who he claims to be (UPS pilot, flying for over 20 years), he certainly has lost all credibility to me and to several others here. His posts come off as a bored 16-year old punk (with apologies to 16 year-olds

) with nothing better to do than put himself up on a pedestal while putting everyone down. I for one don't believe him at all.

Free luggage, free clothes, AND I get to fly with BrandX???? Throw in a case of Rice-a-Roni, and you can sign me up!

We've got some pretty understanding mods if Brand X is still up to his usual tactics. . .

Then for those of us calling him out to get reprimanded. . .hilarious.

They guy should have been gone weeks, if not a month ago when he started this endless festival of ignorance.

Uh... hate to tell you this, but nothing in life is free. NOTHING. Your company certainly doesn't view it as free. Perqs are perqs, and are considered part of your total compensation package. I'm not saying it isn't nice, and I'm not saying it isn't a valuable benefit. But it costs your company something to provide you with those FREE tools, and they DO view it as compensation. Same goes for health benefits, vacation, etc. Now, with that said, it's probably cheaper for the company to provide you with free luggage than to pay you what it would cost for you to PURCHASE said luggage (since they probably get a better deal on it than you could directly due to their volume and negotiating power), but perqs are definately NOT free and should be considered part of your total compensation, along with any other benefits you receive.

Well, don't count on that going on forever.

The way your company's stock price is falling, THAT will be given out 'FREE' to everybody soon, too.
