Do we know that UAL or the UA division really didn't have to pay anything to Galileo for this?

Also, I'm sure there were incremental costs associated with supporting the viewtrip, and UA is not going to derate their own site. . .

Not that I'm saying this is a good thing for pax, but in UA's current financial condition, this may have been a good move (in fact, I'd bet it was).
