You'd be surprised. While I no longer work there, when I did work at EDI many moons ago, I recall the airport ops stopping for around 45-60 minutes due to a memorial flight taking place over the Castle for whatever even was being marked (possibly armed forces day or a special armistice day ceremony, I forget exactly). The red arrows and various historical aircraft were using EDI to land and take off in whatever order they had to. Many flights delayed as a result and some extremely unsympathetic passengers who decided their flight should have priority over the event. I have no idea if some people would have acted the same today, but it's a bit optimistic to assume everyone will be happy about being deled, if they were.
