I can confirm that we do not. It is with Continental (yuck!)
That also includes the rest of SkyTeam (AF, DL, KL) and EK.
It is those who work for real companies (read Oil) that let their employees fly business or first. Especially if they are travelling onwards to Mideast or Africa (I know Oxy used to let them fly first for over 10 hours).
Our cheap-@rsed travel department doesn't let us fly F or J.
That is part of the reason why the BA deal ended.
