I really hope I'm wrong.
I think you are absolutely correct in your assessment BG and that it has probably already been decided to remove the allowance permanently but to introduce the idea to crews one inch at a time. It's very unethical but as long as it makes 'good business sense' then the bad ethics will not trouble the conscience of those that made the decision one iota.
