Many exaggerate, but I do believe the average is probably going down and will probably continue to go down. They keep the overall average higher by starting pilots late on the last day (long last night off) and getting them home late. This gives more coverage later that day and helps keep them above the overall average threshold before OT starts at 11 hours the next year. I won't be surprised if it drops far enough this year to pay OT earlier for next year.
