Not at all. This is a system where the most qualified are offered appointments, not one where the squeakiest wheel gets the grease. Relax. The system works. The only nomination available for which they were making phone calls would have been an alternate. Alternate appointments can only be addressed after principal appointments have been satisfied, normally into the April time frame. This is when the phone calls would normally have been made to seek an available alternate nomination. It was probably done earlier during CVW only as a courtesy to a participant and his family.</p>
