I sincerely hope that jobs at risk at BFS due to this moved are saved, relocated etc. It is however interesting to note that there have been many 'thoughts' about those whose jobs are at risk relating to this move but when FR pulled out of BHD (an airline carrying approx 3 times the pax) there was an almost universal good ridance. Double standards methinks.

As for the whole double standards/knee jerk etc. Maybe I am being simplistic but does it not make sense to have 2 parts of the same airline at a common location to reduce costs/overheads etc. I'm sure it would if that loaction had been BFS.
Finally the airport management - part of their job is to attract airlines & passengers and thus ensure a healthy profit. And despite earlier coments, passengers, any passengers = profit. revenue from airlines is only a small part of airport profit. Most of it is car parking, retail, advertising etc.

As a regular passenger through BHD I say well done.
