Default FDX Question

I was hired in late July and now waiting for a class date. The cond offer letter states NOT to call and wait to be called. However, I know of 2 newbies that did call and were assigned 75 CGN and A300 HKG.
Should I continue to wait or eventually call???? Thanks.

If I was willing to go to CGN or HKG, I would have my sponsor call.

Good thinking ... that's what I would recommend.

You can change domiciles/aircraft later if you want to.

After your initial 2 yr commitment minimum.

Commitment Period
A pilot must complete two years as an active pilot in the FDA, unless released from his obligation due to extenuating circumstances by the Vice President, Flight Operations.
