Like congress realizing that it might be important to have some sleep before you fly. Based on the lack of rest the two pilots had on the Continental flight into Buffalo, maybe CAL realized that while it might save a little money to not give adequate rest to a crewmember, inflight, who's there to provide relief, the public might not understand this as well as the beancounters. "Crew rest in coach." Add that to your "jumbo shrimp" oxymoron, or "CAL pilot unity."he said some political issues are involved

I have to disagree. Sometimes a company has to protect it employees from themselves when they want to negotiate something away that is a safety item or a public perception item.We should be blaming the union negotiating team and the MEC members who were in service at that time, not the company.IAHERJ
The union negotiators(all 737 pilots at the time) OFFERED the company the BusinessFirst seat on flights where CAL could sell out the premium cabin in return for 3 seats in coach for pilot rest.
