... or get a job/career that necessitates you being up there ... There are a few still around. When I am not at the pointy end, I still get the chance to sit up front with other crews (even of other EASA airlines). For sure though, you won't get up there for a jolly any more, you will need a damn good reason and an armfull of paper to back it up.
Sorry to not be able to give anything more positive.

P.s. - try offering Ryanair the possiblity of auctioning the jump seat off?
