You're also a 1K. In the situation I described -- weather in IAH leading to a crew timeout of the last flight of the day (at about 1:30 AM) -- as a 1K, I was given a voucher (albeit, at a hotel that was full; I ended up sleeping in baggage claim after returning to the airport). The person I was trying to help, who'd arrived in J from AKL on Air New Zealand, was denied. I suppose she could have followed up with UA after the fact, although I think she ended up sleeping in the airport anyway.
