BA upgrades scandal article in Las Vegas Review-Journal
Thought this article may be of interest to those of you wondering what's the best way to a free op-up:
https://www.reviewjournal.com/invest...amily-1635949/
Excerpt:
On a September morning in 2012, Cathy Tull, the top marketing executive at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, was pushing for an answer.
She told her assistant to pin down a free British Airways flight upgrade for the wife of then-CEO Rossi Ralenkotter. Tull wanted an update on the status of the tickets for an upcoming meeting with Ralenkotter.
The convention authority’s travel coordinator, Jean Burdett, immediately flagged the request as problematic. “BA’s policy is very strictly adhered to, especially since we are affiliated with Clark County and this would be considered a payoff or a bribe to a government official,” Burdett wrote to Tull’s assistant, suggesting her concerns came from British Airways representatives.

As per FT rules. Please provide a summary/excerpts of the article you're posting, so that folks aren't required to visit the external site.
(and with this one having such an obnoxious anti add blocker, definitely intend not to myself)
