I'll find it, I know it happened for an absolute fact. I was watching the category closely and was even denied an LAX bid right after LAX 73N's were awarded to returning pilots.
I've had a tough time finding the awards, but I'll dig it up. I know others on here saw it happen as well, as returning awards. Not AE's.
