You guys (and gals) are all losers. If the guy doesn't pay you, why on earth would you fly ? If he hasn't got the cash to pay you today, what makes you think he will have the cash tomorrow ? I know it is all wishful thinking, but after all is said and done, he will only think about himself and not pay you. As and when your pay is due, and it isn't paid, the show is over. It may not be good news, but that's what it is !!! Start writing your CVs.
