Not my dime at least.
Yea, all of these cost will be paid by the client. Everytime the pilot fills up the airplane they put a "hold" of 600 bucks per instance. They are a tiny FBO, and must run the credit cards every three days. Once they clear, the actual amount of $200 to $285 is charged. The big thing is the three 600 holds are using up credit limit. $1,800 is on hold until the 700 to 800 is really charged. And my business partner is spending money just like the contract pilot in another state.

A tiny business like ours does not have any credit of it's own, it is all my credit and my partner's. The weird thing is the credit bureaus see my card with charges that are twice or more than I paid for my brand new 1974 914 2.0 and they lower my rating number. I really can't give a crap. We pay the statement balance on the due date automatically, always. We have never paid a penny in interest or fees. They see the payment and my rating goes back up.

The funny thing is by law the CC company has to put the information that if we paid the minimum payment it would take over 30 years to pay it off.
