I delete all the quoted lines.  Next you need to modify what is now the
first line by removing spaces giving you

 Dest.ZIP,Ground,3DaySelect,2ndDayAir,2ndDayAirA.M.,NextDayAirSaver,NextDayAir

Also change the [x] notation to -'s, there are only a few of them

Again, delete all the unrequired lines.  I also delete the $ signs
