Fair question, Pete, and I agree that this would make very good sense (except for the poor punter trying to understand what onboard product he/she'll be offered
) but KLM has a very restrictive agreement with its codeshare partners (at the behest of the KLM pilots union I believe) which IIRC limits each codeshare partner airline (with exceptions for AF and DL) to max 2 routes. I believe that's why EI couldn't put the KL code on their BFS-AMS route - it was because they already had it on DUB and ORK. I know flyBE is operating INV-AMS and SOU-AMS - don't they have KL codes on those two routes?
