So, theres always a chance of us opening another overseas office i suppose, or my trips to the US increasing, but for the time being it all seems an incredibly distant possibility. Fingers crossed though
Ah, but you forget the novelty value to me of flying in NNCW

, so i want to say it (and type it) as often as possible! Then again, i suppose "J" makes me sound more like a seasoned pro

Not daft at all...I paid for W and MFU'd to J a couple of months back, as the company has this cr@ppy policy of J for work and Y for training/conferences

- so I paid for W and got them to reimburse me the cost of the Y fare they would have paid. The W cost me an extra GBP400 and 25k miles (gross; net cost wasn't too bad as I'm silver). So no, you're not daft

. And I think you should ask them to reimburse you the cost of the Y fare that they would have had to pay.
In my case the miles have been earned on both business and leisure travel - with a predominance of leisure travel in the last couple of years, so I felt entirely comfortable asking for the Y fare to be paid to me.
