United's Jetstream site on other airline change

Quote:

Schedule change: Other airline-operated flight
Only one free itinerary change is permitted per schedule change event.

Spoiler

Unacceptable (OA): Change to originally scheduled arrival or departure time of at least + / - 30 minutes
Options Change to alternate flight with same origin and destination and original operating carrier or carrier permitted as noted in fare rule, or UA operated flight. If itinerary includes UA-operated segment, UA schedule change rules apply to that segment**.

Note: If the change causes a misconnection, the ticket is eligible for a refund.
Booking class Same booking class for original carrier or as noted in fare rule.
If changing to UA-operated flight and original class of service is unavailable, contact United.
Waiver required Yes
Change fee and add/collect waived. See "Additional parameters for flights impacted by schedule changes" below the chart.
Waiver code OSI UA OASKEDCHG
NDC-enabled agency: No waiver code needed. Pull up reservation via NDC or united.com for available options and change flight.

Appears UA still has in place a change to UA operated flight if the partner flight change +-30 minutes on arrival or departure
