Doubt they actually offered cash. Probably credit or some kind of company script. Someone would have taken the cash, if they offered cash.

Usually it is money toward another trip on the same airline, not cash. Even so, if there was a later flight, why not put the employees on that one. Or charter something to get them there if no one steps off.

Random picking for getting thrown off reminds me of the story by Shirley Jackson, "The Lottery".

You are correct they never offer cash.

As a way too experienced flyer:

1) They offer a company script with so many restrictions you can never use it.

2) It can only be used against the full fair price, which nobody really pays. The amount of the script is never enough to cover the ticket so you end up paying what you normally would for that “free” flight.

They probably offered a voucher that’s so restrictive and requires you to fly within a year, that for most, it’s not worth it.
