I never said they were empty suits. I said that to get your panties in a bunch because this guy is fdal and that guy is not, or that guy is fnwa and this guy is not is simply silly. As ACL pointed out, until the merger they were retired CA's.
Again, please reference the Flight Ops org chart at DeltaNet if you want to see how it all plays out.
Do you need a hug too?
