Jerry, I have flown with Cabela's proprietary aluminum airline case with no problems (twice), and have flown with my Pelican plastic case. Having done that, I have greater faith in my Pelican case than the Cabela's aluminum case. There's a lot more to it than what the outside material is comprised of. Actually, the Pelican is heavier and bulkier than the aluminum case I used to fly to Argentina twice, but if I go again the Pelican will get the nod.
I'm really not sure how to fully "support" my decision, and I understand that you're comparing two cases that are a lot more similar than I am, but in my opinion there is nothing that compares with the protection capability of the Pelican.
