Regardless of whether or not they are "required" to accommodate you on another airline there is always the possibility that they will and it's not that uncommon. I've had it happen to me a couple of times. Airlines are running pretty tight capacity right now and when a full flight gets canceled placing 200 some passengers on their own airlines subsequent flights is often difficult. OTOH, if you are on a flight that is almost empty and it gets "canceled" you're basically at their mercy, and most of the time you're going to end up having to wait.
