UA basically does, their policy is even in uncontrollable IRROPs if it results in an overnight they will reacom on JV partners in JV markets. See above about agent's acually implementing that though.

Basically no matter what part of the policy they read, OP should have been eligible for rebooking on NZ - uncontrollable IRROPs on JV? Yep; uncontrollable IRROPs for J pax? Yep; controllable IRROPs? Yep. IRROPs for premier member? Probably (don't see a premier status listed)

Policies can be changed at any time and practices can be (and are) variable. Requirements for anti-trust immunity are entirely different.
