This is a trip UA flies double augmented(4 pilots), due to 12hr+ first leg. Am I reading the new rules right that this will be FAR117 legal for 3 pilots?

New flight time limit for 3 pilots is 13hrs and the duty time limit for class 1 rest facility is 17 hours(even class 3 rest is 15 hour duty). "Acclimation time" is 36 hours free of duty.

Looks to me like we just lost a lot of pilot jobs and the ones left will be more tired. Am I missing something?
What time (locally) does the trip start, and what is the time zone situation for the trip? Both of those affect the duty/flight times for that trip.
