Went the last weekend in Jan from HNL to KIX with my wife. Managed to get the last two seats in First which was great because flight was overbooked in Business and Economy. From KIX took the train to Kyoto and spent the night at the Westin, which happens to be very nice, although pricey (no travel employee discount available at the time I went). Colder than I had anticipated (-2 C) so I had to buy some gloves and a thicker jacket. Saw some temples and walked around and shopped for a while. I really liked it there and will go back when I can stay longer. Then took the train to KIX to fly to SFO. There were eight of us in first on that flight, ALL UA employees. How sweet that party was. Spent the day tooling around San Fran with my wife's cousin before taking the last flight back to HNL. Didn't get first, but did get exit row in the Economy Plus section, which was nice but still a world of difference from the intl First Suite. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I always thought the reason why United was or is in Bankruptcy is because their 1st and business classes are always full with non-rev UA employees. I know we all non-rev but I don't think more people do it than UA employees.. gosh, there are so many of them.
