I'd settle for the odd upgrade, some ID 75 tickets, and the odd ride in the Jumpseat for some famil flights.
Seriously though as has been said a million times on here, surely it is time to get famil flights up and running again. We have tried from our (ATC) side, and nothing has come of it. Maybe if someone reading this has some pull somewhere with Emirates (or any other of the local airlines, except RAK air, no thanks have a family) they could see what they could do. A lot of these things would be fixed or at least understood over a few hours together in the cockpit, and maybe a few shniffters (as Foxy would say) after getting back.
That's not to say the odd upgrade wouldn't go astray.... memories of the good old days flood back.
