NAS + EZY + VIR = ♡?
As European aviation is consolidating, could the above mixture be viable to create a new super group to rival IAG, KLM/Air France, Lufthansa?
This would effectively break up NAS with EZY taking over the short haul operation and VIR taking over the long haul division. EZY's business savviness coupled with Virgin's expertise in customer service, brand development and most crucially successful long haul knowledge could create an unstoppable beast.
At the moment, a joint venture EZY/VIR could probably get NAS for 10 cents on the dollar given their fleet problems.
Are there any obvious blocks to such a constellation that I haven't thought of?

One problem could be that easyJet probably doesn’t feel the need to fork out that sort of cash at the moment as the feel they don’t have to. They are making profits every year, have done since company was founded, and will be one of the winners going through this ongoing consolidation. They are even likely to come out the other side even stronger as they get greater market shares on some routes as competition either scales down or fails and this allows ezy to push pricing and increase margins.

I believe that it was the case last year as well, but they ended the financial year with profit.

That alliance would lead to a huge amount of Managers getting the chop.
While I have no problem with that, I doubt that those chickens would be voting for Christmas.
