The FAA still has not ruled on the Unions inquiry that they were not required crew members at the time of the rule change.
Status quo until that ruling is revealed.
I think the FAA "ruled" in the language of the FAR and the age at date of implementation. Good luck getting Sim instructors classified as required crew members. Judge tossed it out for good reason, and it is a good indicator where other challenges on that basis will go.
