The junior normal line holder for MSP 88B in September went in the 11590 range, not all that junior really. I'm an early '08 hire and would be a solid middle of the pack line holder in NYC and I wasn't even close to holding a line in MSP.

(By "normal" line holder, I mean someone who held a line without MIL leave, Vacation, etc.)

Having said all that - there were 72 normal lines and 40! reserve lines built for MSP 88B in September. That means you had to be in the top 64% to hold a regular line - I don't see that kind of ratio lasting long term (I hope!). I know the numbers for the category look really good going forward but it has been a frustrating few months as the base has been built up. Can you tell I'm ready to be done with reserve?
