Correct: OS is allowed, but not required, to use UA's policies. However, they are not required to give a 1K the same allowance that UA would. In this context, UA's applicable policies would be those for a non-status passenger, plus one bag for *G.
If OS is actually deferring to UA, I would argue that UA's business class requirement should apply -- so you should get the allowance for a business class, no-status passenger.
OP: What charges are listed on your receipt?
