Yes, but there are published hold downs on the STAR's and we all know that the AIM is well, guidance. I have been cleared to 350 out of there and queried about the hold down, and they emphatically stated they wanted us to follow the published altitudes on the STAR.
SLC is the airport he flew out of and for that reason, I stated what I did. We have seen a bunch of issues with just that out of SLC. That is why out of there, I always ask.
