Continue Flight

For those of us who operate the Super Puma L2 machines, some emergencies call for "Continue Flight" eg if there is one TRU failure. This could be quite misleading because as far as management is concerned Continue Flight means to continue flying until the end of the mission (maybe with 5 or 6 rig stops) before proceeding back. However most of us would interprete as a continue flight back to a base where repairs could be made without doing another couple of hours of flight. What is the general opinion of most other pilots? I know weather and nature of emergency etc also plays a role in the decision
