Aren't Virgin's A320s borrowed from Aer Lingus?

Virgins little red A320s are leased from Aer Lingus with Aer Lingus pilots and crew. These were mostly the remedy slots from The BMI takeover, virgin Is to return most of the slots to BA unless another UK airlines comes forward and wants to have a go. The MAN slots are owned by Virgin who had leased them to cyprus airways. These slots will now be used in the JV with Delta in a way ove lost track of at the moment !!! Doh
Anyway I guess what jargon meant when he asked how it would affect virgin was the lease deal with EI and VS with BA in the mix ! Dont think he said IAG was virgin... In Fact IAG isn't BA its a big group of different airlines

IAG is BA, Iberia, Vueling and now looks like Aer Lingus.
Willie Walsh, CEO of IAG was also once CEO of, and a pilot with, Aer Lingus.
Virgin Little Red will be over and done with I think before any of this potential conflict (IAG aircraft flying in VS colours) becomes an issue.

Will the mergers and monopolies lot get involved like they did with Bmi ?? Or is it different as its a foreign airline? Or will Aer Lingus stay as is like Vueling and Iberia ??
Is so complicated nowadays..... Bring back the days of T1 Domestic, T2 European, T3 longhaul !!

Irish Government looking at a potential windfall before an election - handy that!
Ryanair have to sell thier large percentage holding as stipulated by the EU.
Etihad exit silently as they have enough problems with the 'basket case' Alitalia and Darwin being undermined by Lufthansa.
No doubt BA will have to give up a few slots.
Larger aircraft on the LHR-DUB route releasing many for BA to use.
Pension issues largly resolved at EIN.
Just a few thoughts.

Qatar Airways today purchased 10% of IAG, thus strenghtening their One World alliance.
