Don't do it! After operating a Europe - Miami schedule I positioned with my crew of eleven on AA to Cancun to operate the first of a series of return charter flights to Europe. The agent was not at the airport to meet us as promised, so we had no idea which hotel had been booked. We picked a nice one and spent three very pleasant days in the sun after being assured by ops that the bill would be settled by the company. Something went wrong and I was forced to pay the very large bill with my personal credit card. It took six weeks for the money to reach my account, including a CC interest payment. Had the company gone bust during that time, like my previous employer, I would have been stuffed!
