I think I understand. To be fair, I haven't heard United claim that $1350 was the limit, but I've heard people on CNN and elswhere claim that (in effect) the airline's hands were tied and they could not offer more than $1350.
I suppose an excellent reason for an airline to offer more than $1350 would be to avoid losing $1.6 billion off its stock price.
