airlinesmustpay, are you selfcentered? you seem to think that if you were in charge than everything would be A ok, remember power goes to the head, and things like this isnt like a quick easy fix or a snap of the fingers, yes maybe it sounds like a good plan but guess what many times things do not go according to plans, if it is an ATC delay than they can leave at any second and with people going away with your vouchars than they miss their slot and than have to wait even longer (and may demand another vouchar) and than you have to use economics (and your version is just completely off) there is research that goes into this to see if it is even worthwhile (happens in every business, no one will waste money unless they HAVE to) than they would have to get the names of every restaurant/concession stand at EVERY airport they fly to near each gates.....ya see it all adds up.....these vouchars cost the airline more than 2c's per page since by your calculations it would really be $1600.20 (200vouchars at $8 +40c to print the vouchars) just for that one plane at one airport........lets say its weather related, you really think that only 1 plane will be effected? nope and than it happens on more than one occasion unless there is only 1 delay a lifetime.........do the math its alot more expensive than you are thinking
maybe it is a nice gesture, but its not economical and if you did that than guess who wont have a job at the end of the day
let me add the $2,500 to your idea of vouchars to the 5 people who missed the flight
remember the vouchars must have value otherwise they would not be accepted by the people providing the food, they would make no money in that
you gotta look at the whole thing not just a quick scenerio that isnt thought out, otherwise everyone would be running to fedexkinkos to photocopy money and other things worth value and than find out that they just wasted 40c for the copies since they are not usable and have a valid code on them
