Irregardless of whether its' a roller board or not, it ain't a problem cause it needs gate checked on the CRJ200.

That could be fixed if we just had less roller boards. And I could care less if we did.

TravelPro, which was started by a NW pilot who made the first one and founded the company, calls it a rollaboard.

To be fair, if the person pronouncing "roll-aboard" hails from a part of the world where the
intrusive-r is part of typical speech, the pronunciation would likley be "rollerboard" even if the known spelling is "roll-aboard".
