Good god, how many people did you already talk to about this "problem"? Did the RCC bathroom attendant and the Red Roof Inn check-in staff also agree with you? Maybe I don't understand job roles at UA right, but the SFO baggage services director chiming in on standby handling at SEA has very little value to me. But I am beginning to understand why your luggage hasn't arrived! J/K... I think.

So, to answer your original question, since you came here for advice: I think fair compensation would be $0.
