It is a dollar based business decision made in a comfortable office far away from the situation. They do not fear losing to another airline because they are fully/over booked so, no loss. Even if you did go elsewhere, you'll be back later. The truth is that airlines have a sort of monopoly when the buy their routes. Contrary to what you might have been lead to believe, they do not compete against each other. Never have. Yes it’s going to cost more money but think of it this way, I and several hundred people may well decide never to fly with a particular airline again based on the experience we have had, hurricane or no hurricane.

Friend of mine who works with an airline insinuated that it is partly caused by the authorities who consistently push for a reopening of the airports before the functionality is properly restored. She says that the majority of systems these days are technology driven but they lose the technology in the absence of power forcing a bridge between manual and computerized. Although I see her point I am more concerned about the systems that they put in place or rather fail to put in place to deal with the obvious fallout that will occur. In other words you know you haven't flown for three days so you are going to have a backlog of passengers. It is summer so you have already fully booked flights going and coming. Solution....1) lease a few planes on short leas because the standby thing not going to work unless you plan on having serious issues for weeks to come. or 2) rebook for fixed dates rather than the standby or 3) involve other carriers.
