CO has a decent amount of eastward flights to IAH, EWR and IAH and HNL westward. I have found their west coast service to be lacking if you want to go north/south. Upgrades to/from EWR on the transcons are extremely difficult to obtain due to equipment used (only one widebody per day and that will most likely end soon) and the number of people who pay for first. Yes, CO has been known to comp status - there is a thread somewhere in this forum that outlines some of the details.
One note to remember is that EWR can tend to be an easier commute in to the financial district or manhattan in general if you use airtrain.
