Agreed, but I thought I read that there are limits to what they can offer? I also heard $1,000 kicked around.
I would think eliminating the limit would be a good thing, a reverse auction would work, someone will bite, or the figure will get so large that the airline will find some alternative. But if these are the current rules, that's how it must go, until/if they change the rules.
I'm saying much the same things - am I a United employee also? Nope, just someone who is trying to cut through the "trial by social media" thing.
Full disclosure, I know an employee of United. My (now deceased) uncle used to work for TWA, many years ago, they might have been bought out by United, I don't recall. Is that too close for you?
