get your stuff from coyote works they will come to your indoc class the first week with binders and a good quality flight case. the flight cases have metal plates on the bottom it should last for the duration of your career the best part is it is payroll deduct so you don't have to spend all of your training money on things like that. you won't need it untill you start your FTD's in about 3weeks after you start. the only thing i don't like about the coyote works bags and binders is that i am not making the money they are making on selling the gear. good luck and have fun.
