But airlines don't always offer the full amount, instead dangling restrictive travel vouchers that expire after a year in front of their customers."

Has anyone tried asking these amounts from American? What are the names/numbers of the federal rules he refers to?

He's not referring to the $$ when asking for volunteers, rather than AA IDBed you.
