(Not training expectation date, but Nov. 19th.)" So if you had finished IOE AFTER 5/18/06, they aren't letting people go to a new training event on a lateral or down bid.
If that's not the case, call in ASAP to make sure the final is right!
I don't think that's the problem. If he would fall in the middle of the 60% group (like he says) he is probably a 42xx seniority number and there are no (as in "zero") secondary awards down that low. The only people junior to 50% got the award as an excess out of Subic. My 2/100 of a dollar. Even less in Euros.

Remember, even the higher secondary bids are not necessarily going to be filled. That is at the discretion of the company.
