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?

The CGN limitation is actually 4 years and 11 months. After 4 years, you can submit for a transfer without waiting for a system bid.

Is that a 4 year life time limit or could you come back to the states for a few years and then return to germany for 4 more years?

You can go away for a year and then come back. Your 4 year 11 month clock starts over. Pilots are doing that right now.

From what was relayed to me:

10 - 757 MEM
2 - Airbus MEM

Uncertain about MD and FDA assignments.

For those that have gone through; how would you compare the RST practice exams to the Aviation Knowedlge portion of day 1? Thanks in advance for any replies.

My group found it to be a little harder. A handful of questions were straight from RST, but the knowledge base was the same. A couple of us got one or zero math questions, one guy got five.
