I mostly agree with this. There will likely be the occasional/outlier AE where someone dips (well?) below that. Maybe even more than one, especially since we're having so many. But just because one very junior pilot holds A on one AE doesn't mean the entire company "can hold it" nor does it mean that's the marker threshold for it to be held going forward.

As always, BWYWWWYB.

And maybe don't make career long decisions on where to go based on a short lived statistical outlier.
