Who could they have called to authorize a higher ($1600) amount? So, if UA's maximums for those levels are (were) the same as DL's then the $1600 was above anybodys authorization limit. Are there even higher ups that could have authorized the $1600? Legitimate questions, not trying to say anything about the $1600 being reasonable or not, just what are the levels for each employee position.
I've seen DL offer higher amounts than $800 at European airports when seeking volunteers to fly later than originally booked. Even 10-15 years ago.
