OK, fair, but in context, I think "demand" implied "demand successfully."
OP:
Collierkr is correct, BTW. Even if you really meant "how likely is UA to accommodate this request," threads like this end up getting read by other people who may not understand that nuance. You end up with frustrated passengers yelling at gate agents because they didn't get what they believed they deserved... based on reading a post where the wording was unclear.
