It maps GMT hours to A-Z letters (omitting I and O). The advantage is that there isn't any confusing overlap between common 'folk' understanding of what hours are what, and the new time values are easily distinguishable from traditional timestamps without need for a TZ marker.
In a way it would carve out a separate, global sense of time in our mental space for use when we do need to coordinate (or just want to opt out of DST shenanigans), and yet let notions like "12:00 means lunch" live on alongside each other.
