For the 5 years from 2102 through 2016 30 total or 6 per year average.

Well, someone is putting out false information or lying based on the 2017 information alone. I replied when you originally posted those 5 year AE numbers that those numbers were highly suspect based on my memory which indicates AE frequencies more in line with what 80kts remembers. Three or 4/ year is more accurate with a couple years having more primarily for base/fleet closures and draw downs.
I'll be really surprised if we see 6 true AEs in 2018. I'm not talking about the MD-88 displacement bids with a couple of AEs mixed in, I'm taking pure AEs.
