As far as I can tell there were 8 initial command upgrades awarded last year and three additionals via the 787 promulgation earlier this year. Five of these eleven are still in the training system in various stages of ground school or sim. Of the remaining 6, I know for sure three have checked out (possibly four) so I’m not sure what numbers you’re looking at.
