## Discrepancy

BDL - FLT 2270 - EN ROUTE FROM PIT-BDL, LEVELING OFF AT FL290, CREW NOTICED THAT THE CAIBN CONTINUED TO CLIMB AT 500 FEET PER MINUTE TO 12,000.  CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY SOLELY TO DESCEND TO FL100.  IN STANDBY MODE, CABIN ALTITUDE DESCENDED AND STABILIZED AS PRESSURIZATION CAME UNDER CONTROL.
