If so we should make them contractual or they could be changed as well.. If I am wrong, then point me where the changes are in the contract.

I know, it is the call in honest program that is contractual but how about the details?
The jumpseat and minimum list of reciprocal/flowback carriers is contractual (Section 24.D). The booking window is defined to be the same for all pilots except LCA/SLI for travel in performance of their duties. Management has the right to set the booking windows. I believe the jumpseat and payload optimization was settled by a letter from management to ALPA (not an LOA, but contractual weight).
