"involve non-protected transfers"
You may put this in bold. This means, if your plane is late/delayed and you miss a flight, the other airline will give a f. about that and you are left stranded. Proceed with caution!

Furthermore, even "protected" transfers can be a hassle as many airlines treat those without status like crap. Sure, you'll get another flight, but when and you might be left footing the bill for the hotel for the night.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Which airline will not cover hotel costs if you are missing a connection because of their fault? Is that even legal??
Bad weather delay? Miss a connection to another United flight? Bad luck buddy!
