A few years ago I joined a startup company and the CEO was my immediate boss (only 10 or so in the company - very flat managemet team ). We went on a trip and flew Y out. We had a great repore, during the trip he gave me a bad time (kidding) about something - I think it was because I booked us on a farily early flight on the return and he wasn't a morning guy. Anyway I told him just for that I'd upgrade myself to first and enjoy the flight even more, when he stayed in Y. I did, he did, we continued to have a great repore and all was well (until the .com bust).
