Virgin/easy/BMI merge possibility

There has been a lot of rumour and speculation in the easyJet camp regarding the possible tie up between Virgin Atlantic, BMI, and easyJet now that Stelios has threatened to pull the easy name from easyjet...

Galley FM has reported that Virgin Atlantic would remain as it is, but BMI and easyJet would be branded Virgin Europe and BMI would adopt the low cost business model used by easyJet and both be used to expand the presence of "easyJet/Virgin Europe" within Europe and the Middle east and work as a feeder airline into LHR and LGW for Branson and his long haul ventures to better compete with BA, AA, etc.

Simply curious to see if the same rumours are circulating around the VS and BD camps?
