But that is blatantly misusing your MPC status as an excuse for something that is NOT part of your being a member to allow this.
If you must do that... do it only when the ISM comes to greet you and you can then ask if you can have a 'taste' of the Business Class wine. Then it's ok. But I wouldn't push for 'special' privileges when the cabin crew really doesn't know who the h*ll you are.
Even I, as DM, do not pull rank and ask for something impossible unless it is being offered. I have heard of other Club members doing things like using the F class toilets for example simply because they think they can. That shows how low class certain MPC members can get.
