I notice that pilots and flight crew seem to use travel-pro more than any other brand (at least as far as I’ve seen). So I went with that for my carry-on and it still looks good after 10 years. Seen some flight crew who go with Briggs. Never seen one with Tumi.

Most of the airlines have deals with travel pro to purchase bags at reduced rates.

Tumi and BR are definitely a step up where I think BR wins in all categories. Think about how much money Tumi spends on store fronts in airports and malls to try and push their over priced bags.

Travelpro makes a special edition for airline employees. There are multiple small but noticeable enforcements the special edition has that we normal consumers don’t. The result is a heavier bag but sturdier. In either case they have lifetime warranty with many local contracted shop to bring your bag to if needed. Highly recommend this brand.
