The employees that have been using their credit cards are hoping the aircraft owners will eventually cover these expenses (some are starting to). Though JetDirect is a failure, the individual aircraft are all owned by individuals and corporations, the crews are dedicated to each specific aircraft. It's hoped the allegiance to the owners and aircraft will pay off with continued employement (being able to stay with the aircraft) long after JDA is dead and buried. It's a risk, but in these times, it's a necessity.
