Gazmo,
BHD AMS is not a route for EI ex BHD, I fear that they may look to put a daily rotation in place of the 4th daily LGW rotation that is being introduced in the summer. In any case that is a LGW originating rotation, so to bring AMS in would mean a reduction elsewhere or a 3rd airframe for Winter so cant see it. BHD AMS could work though it would need to be KLM with smaller machine i.e. EMBRAER or F70.

The schedule would be the making or breaking of the route.
I suggested before a night stop by KLM

The schedule would need to look something like this:
BHD AMS
Days :12345 0645 departure
Days : 5 1945 departure (allowing for leisure travellers)

AMS BHD
Days 1234 7 late departure ex AMS arrive late BHD say 2115
Days 5 evening departure ex AMS (allow for arrival into BHD 1915)

This pattern would give great scope for connections, great options for business men, allowing for day return granted a long day. Smaller aircraft. Would involve night stop on 4 nights of the week.
