When I joined Kuwait Airways on the B707 we were all provided with an excellent good quality Leather Nav Bag engraved with Kuwait Airways Crew and a Samsonite and both saw out my flying career and are still in good nick ( like me )
PS Two of the shortest sectors we did were BAH/DHA and KWI/Abadan
PPS 8 weeks annual leave, plus two lots of 10 days off roster block and always two night in Central London after exhausting 7 hour daytime flight
