The 4 year CGN limitation is based on German tax law that says if you spend more than 4 years there then FedEx has to pay into the German pension system.
When they were setting up the base Management pretty much guaranteed us that would never happen ... too bad, Germany seems like a nice place to live and raise a family.
In other unrelated news, my HKG bud said he was obligated to spend 2 years there but then they sent him to 767 training and he owed them 2 more years? It turns out that he's happy there but I'm not sure when he could come home if he wanted to?
