Your safety is worth $800 to UA. Not $900, not $825, $800.

That is how much they will offer to keep people from being beat up.

Am I missing something? Or did UA just put a $800 price on a life? Was there some reason they couldn't offer $1600 or $3200 or $6400 to people to voluntarily give up their seats?

This seems to really change the power equation with UA, either you take our offer or get your head bashed in.
