What Happens to JAL/ANA/NCA Inductees?

I have recently been asked to attend an interview as an inductee.

The contract is two years, from the moment licensing and training is completed. The contract is renewable.

Does this mean the contract WILL be renewed?
And, if it doesn't, what has been the future of past inductees?

Any help would be appreciated.

Treat this as a GUIDE only - what WE are told is set in concrete today, and will stay this way forever, can change overnight!!
(Don't expect truthful answers might be a way of paraphrasing the above).
You will be expected to deliver your end of the bargain, wrt the contract. But DON'T expect the same in return. A classic from PARC and Air Japan saw the basing being changed from Kansai to...wait for it.......................Japan!!

Your training will take about 7 months, and although type rated and current, you will be required to do a FULL groundschool and sim training, followed by line training. This is in addition to the other subjects required for your JCAB licence.
Understand from the beginning, that time OUTSIDE Japan doesn't count - only time within the Motherland. In other words, you will be treated as an abinitio pilot for the first 12-18 months after your initial ctl.

"Does this mean the contract WILL be renewed?" Worry about completing your first contract.

Try to learn the "Japanese way" as early as possible - EVERTHING has (at least) 2 "faces" here - not least the people!
They have separate containers for combustible and non-combustible; one for glass and another for metal, and yet another for batteries - but if you have to dispose of your car, just dump it on the roadside!!
You can drop $100 on the road, and no-one will touch it (except for another foreigner!!); leave your car engine running while you run into a convenience store without a risk of having it stolen. BUT - even if you chain it up - chances are high that your bicycle or motor scooter will be stolen!!
Truly a Land of Contrasts.

Hope this helps - it's not meant to dishearten, only enlighten and prepare you for Japan.
