Hear ya on the flight case....I puy my stuff on a scale one day before stepping to the plane....63 lbs. Flight pubs, helmet/o2 mask, NVG's, tool kit and most importantly, lunch box. That's not counting the deployed stuff, M4/M9, body armor and "break bag".....when a shoulder strap breaks it's time for E-pubs....

All the stuff I drag with me, suitcase, flightcase, and lunch bag weighs about 75lbs. I can carry 4 days of food with me though, and not pop my wallet open once. They've been talking about going to epubs for a long time now via an ipad, but they hit a snag. The finance guys says that the savings point for making any changes right now is $2.4 million over a 5 year period, and the epubs only save $2.2 million over a 5 year period, so they won't do it.

We fly RJ-200s, 700s, and 900s. It's the part 23 passenger model of a Challenger 600, formally known as "the little fricken RJ, that no one wants to fly in."
