Here's a bunch of abbreviations and acronyms for you; in June 2012 I was the JAX UuAT SME (and WNS liaison) when UuAT was launched.

So 5.5 years of being able Upgrade using Avios [on] Trade PNRs. The part about TA in country of membership was in the rules at the time but wasn't enforced consistently. The part about no other airlines in there (unless the TA was also in Amadeus and so the OAL segments were live in the PNR) was and is enforced, or the OAL won't get the new ticket number once it's reissued.
