They should change it to (something like) the lesser of 4x the fare or $2000.
Wait, do you mean greater of 4x the fare or $2k? Lesser would just reproduce many of the current problems.
I think most of us have seen UA assign shockingly low (tens of dollars) PQD values to specific segments on a RT flight with connections. It's frightening to think that UA might be able to IDB you for an indefinite period and only owe you <$100 as compensation.
Edit: Given
Nevsky's post, it sounds like the best bet in that situation is to not cash the check and retain the right to pursue them for more.
