I'm with Neil on this one, its WAY over rated and i've done a shitload. I think the only cool thing you'd find about it is being dressed and smelling like a climber amidst people facing work at the other end. People wise, the only guy I can think of over the years that I've had a decent conversation with up front is Carlos Moya...people in cattle class are way more interesting.

With any luck I'll not climb on a flight in business class for years starting 30/4/2009!
