iii. If a pilot changes or attempts to change his crew status with-in his FDA (e.g., upgrades from F/O/HKG to CAP/HKG), his original commitment period shall be extended by 12 months plus the time spent in training. In the EMEA FDA, however, a pilot may change his crew status in this manner only if the pilot can activate to the new seat and actually perform revenue operations in that seat for at least 12 months prior to the end of his EMEA FDA assignment. This restriction may be waived by the Vice President, Flight Operations, in extenuating circumstances.
