I suggest your friends educate themselves on Rule 120.20/240 and interline IRROPS agreements. They're probably referring to the old school FIMs (Flight Interruption Manifest), which are rarely, if ever, used anymore. Worst case these days, they're just pushing the value of the pax's ticket to the other carrier.
