Don't know if it's true, but it does sound plausible.
Has anyone else heard anything like this?
The way the bmi pilot agreement for service is currently written, this is not possible. bmi pilots have sole and exclusive rights to fly all bmi Group operations from LHR. Once the washing is dry there will be no such thing as a BMed pilot, or a Bmii for that matter. Going to be a fun time for BALPA!
