Looks very much like two Sheiks willy waving, and using their respective airlines as an alternative to a shooting war!
It's absolutely all upside for EDI unless / until both carriers blink simultaneously and walk away leaving EDI going from feast to famine. Happened at BHX many moons ago when Air Canada tried, successfully, to kill off Wardair on BHX/YYZ and I suspect that the excess competition between AA and UA lead to BHX having no proper direct North Atlantic services! Sometimes one needs to be careful about one wishes for.
