Given that it's your own name on the card, yes, then they could make it highly likely that it was you who gave it to them. But they do not punch in before the CC transaction what seat number you are on, so if you use your borther's card (or any other card for that matter) they do not check to verify your identity and if it correlates to the the name on the card.
They do this to save time and make life somewhat easier for their onboard personnel. Should the loss percentage go up, you bet they will start to ask for ID and signatures or even install live systems with pin codes. Until then, they will just eat whatever small amount that did not go through.
If you do not understand this and why, try signing up for a business class at your local community college.
