Actually there might be some truth here. But, I am OK with FDX hiring straight into the domiciles. If someone on property is dumb enough to bid this with or without the LOA, they can live like crap in HKG or CDG.
I agree about the STD section being a no-go for me. Other than that, if someone wants to voluntarily go to one of the most expensive cities in the world with a 2700 dollar override, go for it. I would consider living abroad but not in either of these cities. But by voting this LOA in, we open ourselves to get nonvol'd for three months. No thanks, I prefer to keep things as they are. Probably won't happen, but hey "it's in the contract" so you have to think of it as a real possibility....
