I miss the possible benefits of a BA - VY code-share. VY entry in OW is even more difficult for me to cope with.
Looking at Germany, Airberlin could have been an option to enter in a LH dominated market even if I doubt that AB is feeding BA with high revenue customers.
Looking at Spain, BA has already IB so no need to dilute once more the value of his upper product.
If you were a Biz or First class traveler, would you accept to be "feeded" to an OW hub via VY or even AB ? Or would you prefer to take an other route where you get a service level more "uniform" ? Not better but uniform.
