I don't think it matters. The partner airline will get the same amount from UA no matter how much UA charge for the award. It's UA's loss if the tickets are honored, even on a partner airline.

So what? UA is not BA, and BA is not UA.

Dear Mr. Taday,
I booked a 4 mile first class ticket to Hong Kong on United and you have to make them honor it because people on my internet message board (the same place I found out about the scam) say you have to. I heard you get to drink all the free beer you want in first class. I could drink a lot of beer on a 12 hour flight. I wonder if they serve Chinese beer or American beer. They only serve American beer on Southwest.
Sincerely,
lol

When there is a person who booked out the F cabin then dug into the C cabin with 17 tickets on one flight, it is unreasonable to ask UA to honor that reservation.
It's unreasonable to ask UA to honor any of these reservations. I'm glad UA is putting its foot down.
