Minimum price on UM from AS aircrafts

Does anybody know (or can AS chime in) what is the minimum price an aircraft on UM can get down to, based on the base lease value?

Let me explain:

With the base lease value I mean the monthly lease value ATE shows you (e.g. in A to B, 737, age 2 years, shows 50 flights per week with AS$4000 as lease, so the face lease value for this 2 y/o 737 is AS$200,000 per week. On UM, this (or slightly above it) will be the starting offer lease rate.

As time goes on, the lease rate will go down. I have seen it go down to about 77.3% of the face lease value (so in this case that would be AS$154,000 for a 2 y/o 737) ....***again these are just made up values*** But the 77.3% is just approximate value.

After that it reverts back to higher price after a day or two, and starts the cycle again.

Does anyone know how "low" does the price on UM can go (e.g. is 77.3% really the minimum?), based on the face lease value for the aircraft and its age?

You know that UM in aviation means: "Unaccompanied Minor" ;)

well... that's quite true .... but in AS we do not fly minors only adults, right? :) so here as we all know it stands for Used Market.

Btw nice way to avoid response

So .... what is the minimum ?

edit spelling

Well, we don't have established this meaning. I personaly can't answer you this and to be honest ... from the point of running this simulation, I even don't want to. In my opinion there shall be some black boxes otherwise it is getting boring.

OK, got it. So observation and statistics will need to suffice
