I've seen them IDB people when a little more in voucher would have done the trick. So I'm not surprised at the hardline offer.
as an aside, i always thought the bump vouchers amounts were determined by some department in houston via some beancounter computer model. i was surprised to learn recently (via a Flyertalk thread) that the amounts are actually determined by the station in which the flight takes place and that each station has a budgeted bump amount for each year. correct me if i am wrong, but i thought i read that here recently.
