All the TA does is change the "trigger" to all pilots currently on the list and not just the pilots on the list at the time of the UPA.

Is this an improvement? Yes.

Is this a no-furlough clause? No.

Carry on.
I would bet that almost every furloughed major airline pilot in the last 20 years was protected by a "no furlough" clause.

They mean nothing.
