I used to work for a BA franchise. Meets with BA used to be myself and about eight BA people, till I got wise and took someone with me.
The amazing thing is that all the people at the meet also had assistants. There was rarely a decision made at the meets as it had to go though various other departments before being agreed.
This needed at least one onboard trial with a nightstop, incl at least 3 BA people to see pax reaction on th flight etc.
Suggest you look at waterworld for cost savings first.. . . . C
