It would probably have happened anyway, VA is a basket case and the money would have run out sooner or later.
Virgin Atlantic also said it will move its flying programme from Gatwick to Heathrow. It said it intended to keep its slots at Gatwick "so it can return in line with customer demand".
a: I didn't think that was possible, ie its use it or lose it
