Virgin did say around the time they asked for an investigation that they would start regional flying if the deal was blocked/remedied. Also I believe it is the EC who will decide which routes will be covered and that I think that any airline taking those slots will have to commit to flying those routes for a certain period of time, I think it 2 years minimum????
I believe they can then use those slots as they wish.
