Isn't it up to the GA's discretion what they offer?

Was bumped off a flight last week LGA->PIT. I agreed to $500 but with 6 pax too many they went up to $800 (which I received as well). My next flight out was also oversold and I asked the GA what the offer was, to which he responded "i don't effing care, i just want to get this flight out and go home so its the max allowed $1300." He probably could have gotten takers for less but its his discretion.

If you're willing to take $300 and get $300 you should be happy. It's irrelevant whether another flight gets $200, $500 or $1200. Sorry.

No excuse for a GA/redcoat being rude but i can see how theyre quite overwhelmed during these oversold situations.
