It was a FReeper who has the name of Cobra or something like that who said they should have offered actual money and not Monolopy money by way of vouchers. That would have gotten people to get off the plane faster.

Vouchers might work with frequent United flyers, but if not switch to cash and keep upping it until a volunteer comes forward. Better than involuntary “booting” or blood on your plane!

I wonder if Republic Airways “IDB” policy is slightly different than United’s mainline policy? (It was a Republic flight/codeshare). They are in bankruptcy and may be getting cheap!

That is quite true.

People would have taken cash but were not inclined to take the voucher "good toward the full price of a future flight with United (unless of course, United decides otherwise and 27 pages of fine print about still more loopholes)" because many had already decided that this would be their LAST flight with this carrier.

And people wonder why I have quit traveling by air domestically. :)
