Regardless of how heinous it might be to someone that a whole flight turned down $800, I can guarantee there was a number for every single person on that flight that would have averted the disaster. Now some of those numbers were probably much, much higher than others but I guarantee everyone had a number they would have agreed to (barring extenuating family circumstances or the like).

I think there would be takers even for $800 if it was cash but other commenters have pointed out that united never offered money but rather travel vouchers in small denominations that you cannot use more that one of in a single transaction.
I can offer $100k in thanksgiving fun bucks as well every time I screw up majorly. It will be in denominations of $50 and you can use them towards future consulting with me. My consulting starts at $100 per hour with minimum of one hour. You cannot use more that one voucher per transaction.
