Hi all. I'm the author mentioned here, so: In partial response to the comment about the number of transport category airplanes, go to Page 13 of Boeing's "Statistical Summary of Commercial Jet Airplane Accidents Worldwide Operations | 1959 – 2017". I'm not allowed to post a link yet, haven't been in this forum long enough, but the Boeing report can be found by Googling the title - it presents some really interesting data. Boeing claims to have 13,871 of their products alone in the active fleet - I suspect that's plenty close enough to claim "nearly 14,000". As for the number of Boeing engineers working in Boeing Commercial, that was just a WAG, it was a difficult number to find but I DID find the ~45,000 in the Boeing website.
