Well, if I remember correctly he started at the FAA in ‘64 and is now retired. Maybe he got in and out before all the cut throats got in. :>}

Could be.
All I know about the FAA, is between 2000 and 2006, and what I learned across the lines while I was in the military.
Veery little, almost NO teamwork.
And then in the Reagan Years, mid 80s, with the Air Force being "STRIKE BUSTERS", the FAA NEVER has been fond of USAF experience, since then.
The FAA NEVER drops a grudge, NEVER.
