Duration for a new hire at a FDA is TBD....

Not trying to be difficult, but the LOA requires a 2 year signed agreement with the company. Then it is my understanding that you have to wait until a bid is open to bid off an FDA. *****If I am wrong, someone please correct me.******

Therefore, it could be 2 years or it could be upwards of 4 years (depending on age 65, the economy, etc.)

As a new hire, I would suspect that the two year time clock begins after you are checked out, therefore, the two year clock will not begin on the hire date. But we do not have any official guidance from either the union or the company, so this is just a guess.
