I'm looking to move to M&M due to ease.

However I have an upcoming trip in June on Virgin with six family members and was wondering if anyone can advised how best to pool the miles. There doesn't seem to be too many FF schemes that accept Virgin miles and have the ease of DC, however with its seeming impending demise it looks like DC won't be an option but I will be spending any miles later this year. Any advise is welcome?

Thanks
