So on other condor packs it says three day. What is the difference between a 3038 cubic inch and a three day?

Generally 3038 in3 or equates to 50~55liter capacity bag is viewed as capable of carrying all necessary items including food and water to be self contained for 3 days minimum. It is not generally accepted for a 3 day pack to be less than 50Liter capacity although some can argue its how you pack and prioritize so the bar has dropped to about 45L for some. Also critical for a 3 day pack/above 45L is the waist belt. It must be wide and adjustable and sit just above the hip bone to carry all the weight for long hikes which you might not find on day packs or 20~30L packs.

How does this compare with the Maxpedition Vulture 2? ($100 cheaper)

This pack is $81.55. Is someone paying you $18 to "buy" a maxpedition Vulture 2?

What is the total dimensions of the whole shebang FULLY LOADED... pls?

Not counting the side pouches, about 14 x 13 x 20.5

Can it be used as a carry on(commercial airplane)?

It can be used as a carry on, but only if you only partially fill it. I travel quite a bit for work and this is my take everywhere bag. To get it small enough to work as a carry on you can't put anything in either of the two lower side pouches and you have to keep the front to back dimension in check by not filling anywhere near capacity and having the compression straps buckled in and cinched down.
