I am NOT doubting your story... but if it was a US flight that means it was quite some time ago.
The larger factor is there would be no way for the OP to qualify if this exists, and what or where to contact when there is a problem.
With IROPS and interlining what level of obligation does UA (or any of the legacies for that matter) have for interlining, especially with a group? If we are flying out of an outstation like HDN and the flight is cancelled (not weather), would they put everyone on another carrier? I know that group travel policies can differ from what an individual traveler is entitled to.
I would take a look at the UA's group program:
