Be very careful. Pilots have been left holding the bag for company expenses before after a shutdown. I'm one of them - I was stuck with a $1,500 bill when the small charter company I worked for went bust back in the 90's. I know of a guy who diverted the day of the 9/11 attacks. He used his personal Visa to reserve crew rooms because the local hotels were quickly getting filled. His company went bust a few months later and he was stuck with a bill for 12 rooms at a very high rate, seeing as the hotel had decided to take full advantage of their windfall. It took a long time and some hefty legal fees to fight it.
