This doesn't tell me anything

Okay, so apparently there is one job for a captain in Tampa and that job has been offered to another guy.  But that other guy is trying to get a different special job in DC and if he is offered the DC job he will take that one and then the job in Tampa can be Scott's.  

No, I do not know the probability of the other guy getting offered the job in DC.  

No, I do not know when anybody in DC will decide whether or not they are offering the other guy the special job.

Yes, I am a fountain of useless information, so any further questions should probably not be directed at me.
