Hey, seriously, and with total respect but........
I'm glad that you are happy and like it there, but be careful with that paying for your own hotels deal. When Kalitta shut down in 2000, and before they were resurrected, pilots had thousands of Dollars on their American Express cards that they never got reimbursed for. They were excited about all the points that they were earning until the Company quit reimbursing them. I'm glad that you haven't been shorted thus far, and maybe you won't, but you are putting your credit at risk unless you are independently wealthy and/or you pay for your rooms in cash. If things ever go South with the economy, fuel prices ect., that money might be tough to get back when other, more powerful creditors with their own lawyers are pounding on the same door you are. By asking you to pay for your own hotels, you are in effect being made to give them an interest-free loan.
OK, 'nuff said. And no,... I wouldn't be so paranoid if everyone weren't against me.
Good Luck.
