Yes, I read that. Did you read the language above the note you quoted? It seems pretty self explanatory that the "
above-listed fees that may be incurred", "
shall be limited to actual cost but shall not exceed $25 per transaction."
8.C.4.c. The Company shall pay all fees associated with scheduled deadhead tickets. Fees associated with an unused deviation ticket shall not be allowable unless a Company schedule change was the reason why the ticket could not be used, or had to be changed. These costs/fees shall be handled in accordance with Section 8.C.5.b., and shall be limited to the actual cost but shall not exceed $25 per transaction.

Nowhere does it say that the company will cover 100% of the change fees. Unless, they're less than $25, of course. What fees, caused by not using a ticket, do you think they're limiting themselves to?
