Hmmm. White elephants literally, figuratively and economically.
This is one area of commercial aviation I just do not understand. Just another head-scratching issue that plague this industry. I just used a $900 Delta voucher I received last year for taking a "bump" which turned out to be a simple 3 hour delay to my day. Compensation for over-booking must be costing the airlines a fortune. Maybe someone could explain how over-booking a flight is a good business practice.
I think it has to do with people not showing up for a flight and still wanting a refund on their ticket. SO it leaves potentially empty seats, money that could be had.

My fiance is a flight attendant. She sent me a text the other day that due to weight and balance, they had to give out 23 $1300 vouchers for her flight. Insane.
if airlines have to discard that expensive aircraft in 10 years then it is not worth. how come some of the united 747's were running for 24 years or more with passengers
I don't think they "have to" get rid of them as much as new options, new cabin layouts (First Class Showers etc..) become available on newer models. Older ones are retired for cargo. I know AA sold off all of it's MD-11's to Fed-Ex who still flies them today.
