I was on Great Lakes Aviation, so there was no channel 9.
But if a United plane in the area had channel 9, then the captain would have most likely turned it off. It is at the captain's discretion, and they almost always turn it off during emergencies -- whether the emergency deals with a United flight or a different airline. At least, that has been my experience.
