My understanding from those far wiser than I is

* operate for 3 years with the wet lease
* slots then become VS's to use for any routes

...so in 2016 expect the routes to be cancelled with regret and more profitable destinations overseas put in place. Very shrewd and in the meantime a load more boring VS spin about bringing the fight to BA.
