Interesting. "More than 1,500 by the end of 2017." Basically 750/year. That's some good news.

Previous statements in early October were "500-600 next year" and "500 a year after that." Second statement didn't even cover planned retirements so I took it to be a 'blow off' statement. "500-600" was updated to "750 in 2016" last week.
