Nothing on the ground in Mumbai, no intro to or welcome on board from the team (who were a pretty good and friendly crew) and no special treatment over and above (we were in Club). We had a BA person meet us at the B gates upon disembarkation. To be honest, while she was perfectly pleasant, we may as well just have done it ourselves. No special car transfer (I was looking forward to a new Jag), no escort to the front of the connections or subsequent EDI boarding queues (there were a lot of Group 1's), no Concorde Room access while we waited (3h layover), no intro to the EDI crew as a CK, but we did get a free Diet Coke and a chocolate bar. I did however see a GGL member get a welcome on the EDI flight, so again, it's all a bit of a mystery for me as to how this works!

Based on what I saw above, I don't think that BA teams quite view CK as completely equal to Premier. Just one data point and YMMV.
