Unfortunately that is exactly what Continental is saying, These 12 Pilots are being allowed to stay on the property based on CAL's interpretation that they supposedly were required crew members before the rule changed.

Funny how no other carrier, (or our Union), saw it that way either. By the time the FAA finally does rule on this these clowns will probably all be over 65 anyway.
