Viper446, you beat me to it.
Man, I hate looking at everything in this TA through the how-will-they-screw-us-with-this-language goggles, but, it is either our NC asking for change because of our guys requesting it, or it is the company asking for the very likely reasons you state Viper446.
To whalesurfer, this is obviously a change that will not be fought if we go back to the table after rejecting the TA. And, even though I've never ridden on UPS, I am truly sorry about this change. I have always enjoyed giving offline guys the 24 hour guaranteed seat, as a minor way to thank the UA, AA, DL, Alaska, and Frontier crews that have given me countless international jumpseats, which we cannot reciprocate (although we are working on that).
