i. A pilot must complete two years as an active pilot in the FDA, unless released from his obligation due to extenuating cir-cumstances by the Vice President, Flight Operations.
ii. If a pilot fails to complete his commitment period without a release from the Vice President, Flight Operations, he shall be obligated to repay his seed money and any money paid by the Company for storage.
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.

I think you're probably mistaken...the guys that end up there seem to love it. I haven't heard anyone say they hate it. A lot those that end up there stay long past their 2 year commitment. I'm sure some of the folks that have done it will chime in eventually.

I love it. Most people who come out here end up staying well past the commitment period. (Which, btw, is effectively 3 years.) Although of course living abroad is not for everyone.

That said. FDAs are on a volunteers only basis as of right now, so it wouldn’t stop me from putting my app in.
