OK, thanks. I had never seen that number.

Of course, it's also a question of timing. If the retirements occur faster, then we shrink for a while. If they occur slower than deliveries, we grow for a while, until we roll into another period of deliveries and retirements. So even the 15 number can feel like 0, just as much as it can feel like 50, at any given time.
