I am not sure about that. I have flown the BRU-LHR route and my colleagues the PAR-LHR route since BoB started and the uptake was close to 0. I am not sure corporate customers bother with the BoB offering. From what I am hearing from my colleagues is that BA is now considered a "cheap" brand not really worth flying with. The opposition to BoB is strong.
