We can all agree to disagree. Bottom line - I stand correct that just because no one stops it, it does not mean the practice comforts M+ T&Cs regarding CPUs.
And this is not even the main issue of the thread.

The split PNR is not really the issue, but UA rebooked OP's family to AA. I never said OP's wife would succeed in getting reimbursement. But instead, the fees are AA's issue, not UA. So unless OP has his own ways to waive the fees (status and/or credit card), OP must still pay the fees.
OP's wife, as a 1K, might have luck convincing an ETC or reimbursement. Hence, what I have said.
