It is possible they rank you in the hold file (I think mainline used that system) and they didn't need to sink as low as your number to fill the spots? Its not always first in into the hold file, first into the job
I highly doubt that. My opinion is they most likely just dropped my file behind a desk :-)
and the other is they did call my employer and they stopped it. Which has happened in the past.
It does not matter anymore, I was just shedding the light on it as I though it was a complete farce.
