Give BA tier points and station FT junkies randomly throught the plane. 1500 for first out, 1250 for second etc. etc.
I guess the problem with monetary rewards or other incentives in testing is the potential liability for injury. IANAL but legally the testers might be in not much better a position than if they actually set the plane alight, should someone get badly injured in simulated chaos. Particularly if you have to test with Real People as BOH noted. Generally, I suppose there is a limit to the amount of real danger you can expose people to in order to get an authentic test.
