I'm still a newb so appreciate some of these suggestions. From my, very limited, experience and talking to the senior guys I'd definitely only have two bags total, especially if commuting or deadheading. Anything more is just a hassle.

Good stuff guys, thanks. And I appreciate the humor mixed in as well.
How about Apps - what are you guys using (if anything) to check crew schedules, flight loads, weather briefings, company communication, Uber or Lyft for crews? etc. Stuff that doesn't burn through your battery!

I thought the same thing for a long time but have recently added a cooler bag and can’t believe I waited so long. Life is easier, healthier and cheaper by bringing your own food. Having the third bag while commuting isn’t anymore difficult either.

Crap. The Stealth Air 22" Pilot Rolling Bag with Side pockets....just arrived. My laptop does not fit in the laptop pocket. It is about 2" too short. I have a standard 14" dispaly on my laptop. Meaursing the pocket, it barely holds a 12" laptop (Depth). It also has a smaller tablet pocket, but this does me no good. I am thinking of sending this one back and getting a bag that will hold a standard laptop. Anyone have a different crew bag recommendation that would hold a laptop with a width of 14 1/4"??

Good advice, your laptop is sure to get broken in that external compartment. If you must bring a laptop (very few people do anymore) use a laptop sleeve type protector, tuck it inside and lay some clothes over it.

Strong Bags Cooler swap
Good advice on the laptop not going in the 22" crew bag. Makes sense, not sure what I was thinking. My alternative path at this point is to return the Strongbags Canadian Cooler and exchange it for a Strongbags The Summit instead.

The Summit offers a larger interior that allows for laptop storage plus a self contained cooler inside. That way I stay with 2 total bags and solve the problem while keeping the 22" Luggageworks Stealth.
