Rooster, we seem to be getting contradicting information!
I used to work in a travel agency in Aberdeen before I became crew with BA. My KLM rep informed my that the KLMuk crew based in Aberdeen had been offered AMS Mainline contracts BUT none of them accepted.
And hottowel, you'd probably be surprised about what they'd offer you as a newbie. I wouldn't be shocked to see you get the same offers (excluding financial) as long-serving crew.
I'm sure the LBA closure (if it happens) is some time away still.
