There are no 73N displacements planned (although I expect significant pin action in Atlanta). In fact, we are adding a few to the category in anticipation of the super stretch double skid plate version. They bulk the A position first to avoid green on green and high mins problems.

Hopefully they'll not process as many forced displacements in the B position. That's one of the real wild cards in these AE's. I can never tell how many extra they will carry in category.
