Good luck...
Which is unfortunate because captainkorndog is clearly willing to pay the price to get on this flight, and it would be very sad to see UA let someone ride for free when there is someone as wanting as CKD.
CKD - I saw on viewfromthewing that United offered Gary Leff a seat that he turned down. Maybe try reaching out to him/seeing if you could get his seat? I think FT prohibits linking the articles but if you go to his site, it's one of the newer articles.
Fingers crossed for you.
