My husband works for a LARGE company - Fortune 500. He was comped PE once but through the travel dept, not automatically as an employee. He had a long run as a PE, was just shy of 50K, and had also been a 1K. He works in marketing with some guys that have had PE comped to them by UAL without begging and whining. UAL is the airline of choice at his company. He knows about the rebates to the travel dept but his dept is charged the rate on the ticket. Kind of a bum internal deal.
