What are the code sharing arrangements if any with KLM for the two airports?
Apparently KLM are restricted by some sort of industrial agreement with their pilots to only codeshare with FlyBe on two routes - and those are currently AMS-INV and AMS-SOU. So KL would have to give one of those up in order to codeshare with FlyBe to LPL. Besides KL already tried LPL on their own metal and it didn't work for them then.
Do we think flybe will continue the MAN-AMS route, and how has it performed so far?
Who knows - FlyBe's route planning of late has resembled a game of "pin the tail on the donkey" at times, with routes started and then stopped at the drop of a hat. Fortunately so far MAN has been spared any of that for the most part, perhaps a sign that BE's MAN operation in total is doing quite well for them ?
You have to wonder about their chances though, running a Q400 up against the Airbus' and 737s of EZY and KLM, time will tell.
