Saudia City
I lived in the very first block to open in Saudia City. That was about March of 1977. There were no gates on any entrance. No telephones either. A TWA mechanic wired the place for video and ran a cable network using betmax machines for years.
Those blocks have been demolished, but Google Maps still show that the rest has not changed much.
They used the same type paper bid/line schedule systems, but most lines had 8 days off.
They would always schedule a 1 day trip at the end or beginning of a line if your days off were next to the beginning or the end of a month. Lost of sick call ins from the locals for those lines.
The place was decent back then.
