that doesnt seem logical at all
you're implying that one company credits you for the money you've paid to another company?

i've flown with united many times in the past few years, and ive never heard of anything like this
but i've been wrong before

its a rule, if your flight is cancelled & the other airline on the same route has a empty seat then they've to honor it. The guy at united once showed me the rule book

Yeah? Well explain why Southwest doesn't have to do that. It depends on what the contract of carriage states.

There was a American Airlines steward on my last southwest flight We had a long boring conversation, and he said southwest does do it, and it was why he was on the plane. *shrug*

I don't know if it was or is 'in the rules' but he said his flight home was canceled and they flipped it to southwest. Perhaps because he is an airline employee?

That I couldn't tell you. Watch Airline. They state constantly that they don't participate in any type of agreement with regular passengers. Flights get canceled all the time on the show, and passengers are always like "you have to book us on someone else" and Southwest will say nope.

airline employees fly on other airlines to get home when they are deadheading it (flying home but not working)

that isn't the same thing as paying customers
