There are situations that come up where a passenger may have to give up a seat. That’s real world. They asked him nicely, and offered up to a $1000, plus other flight options.

No they didn't. It was not an overbooking. It was a bump of four seated paid passengers for airline employees.

They offered a $800 comp voucher, not $1000 USD. Do you know what that is?

It's worse than that; it's UAL Monopoly money, can only be used on very specific flights, which you normally wouldn't want (like red eye flights). $1,000 UAL comp voucher "street value" is probably about $300-350.
