Not taken that way and definitely NOT trying to push any buttons but relay info for consumption. I understand about the union drive and having people like me upset the apple cart. It was only a question and I don't know if it was a serious offer or exploratory if I thought I was applying for a direct CA slot. My cut is the latter, she may have been letting me know direct CA may not be available. Not clear in my first post, my apologies for stirring the pot.
It is OBE now as I have screwed it up royally and will probably wind up in another contract job anyway.
Good luck to all in their search.
