But why?

FlyBE doesn't fly into Heathrow and is unlikely to do so in any foreseeable future - it's not part of their model. What then would induce flyBE to agree to hand a % of all their revenue to BA in exchange for the chance to throw away the flyBE brand and all the marketing £££ that's gone into it in the regions? What does flyBE get? No, sorry - don't see that happening at all.
