If YOU have not had an engine-out-emergency (EOE), then you are a

pilots, as we KNOW how the flight will come out! :-)

15 engine outs???? Whoa, either you really fly some crappy equipment, have
serious bad luck or they were gliders?

I have only once declared an emergency in my short 536 hours, can't imagine
having 15 of them!

I have had mechanical situations crop up on me, loss of vacuum pump during
night flight, minor electrical fire during the night, loss of one brake on
landing, but nothing even close to 15 engine outs???
