Bingo.
Frankly, I do not care what UA states as to what its interpretation is. What matters is the wording of the Convention/Pact that controls. As a matter of common sense--not having read the wording--it makes no sense to me. If the international portions are complete and the only leg remaining on a RT ticket is a purely domestic portion where there has been a rechecking of bags, why should that pax be treated any different than the one who bought a purely domestic ticket with the same city pairs? For me, the rechecking of bags is what changes the analysis.
Is anyone aware if anyone has legally tested whether my interpretation (in a vacuum) is correct?
I just read the Montreal Convention in full. I'm not convinced (that UA has the correct conclusion)...
