From a look at the timetable it appears one of the two based aircraft is now leaving the base 2 months early and a search on social media would indicate these cancellations started happening a week or two ago... Found quite a few of these kinds of reports out there; https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/23/woman...isbon-7654901/

Theyve coped without Ryanair and their antics up until now so they'll cope again going forward and have reserves and capacity when others will reach gridlock and plateaeu.
LH for example, so far, seems to be doing ok on FRA (which might have been marginalised with longer term FR competition), plus the apparent EZY suggestion of expansion will do no harm. Once PIK goes, the landscape/politics and Ryanair shenanigans may take another turn.
Still some FR non based flying continuing.

On the topic of APD and other charges, I looked at two once way LH flights on the same day and the total taxes/charges from EDI were actually slightly higher than GLA.

Typical GLA under AGS and its current management team. All the big talk and promise of significant expansion, this time from easyJet. And what do they deliver? A reduced winter schedule. Laughable, really.

AA press release on line clear as day - EDI/JFK, GLA/PHL and most surprising of all, MAN/ORD all gone. Only EDI/PHL to replace it. Hardly a resounding vote of confidence in AA's joint venture partner's sales efforts in the UK regions.

I don't think it's that surprising as with the pound so low against the dollar, the yields on ex UK traffic must bring tears to the eyes. Add to that fuel price increases.....
AA service is seasonal. Interest in holidays in USA dwindling I suspect. It's another blow for GLA though
Will Rouge dump GLA and go daily at EDI next year? Just what are ASG Airports doing so badly wrong? In the biggest boom years any of us have lived through, growth at GLA just has no momentum.

Despite the loss of some routes the figures are steady will be around 10m pax per annum not much of a Mickey Mouse Airport. Expansion finally happening in the International pier at Stand 30 and Immigration arrivals also.

Figures will be well down next year with the loss of Ryanair. This has been chopped, UA gone seasonal, AF were barely here. Wizz cut back most of their routes and even niche routes like Vegas gone for next year.
Pretty naive point of view you are taking.
