I'm curious. How does everyone's respective companies handle on-the-road expenses?
-company credit card?
-cash advance?
-you pay intially then wait for reimbursement?
-Captain has corporate card only?
Every company I've ever worked for, large or small, provided its pilots with corporate cards for hotels/airlines/meals/etc. Some allowed meals on the card while others limited use to hotels. I'm running into guys lately with some horror stories, where it seems a pilot needs to be independently wealthy or have a large amount of available credit in order to do finance the trips. It seems borderline unethical to me for a profitable corporation to expect its employees to lend the company its operating capitol for a ten day trip. But that's just me.
