And why would he feel the need... wait, never mind. It's DJT, there isn't going to be a reason.

"Ever" is a very long time. Edinburgh Airport executives have been working on it for a long time and they were, as of late last year, fairly confident of it happening within a year or two. The current US administration won't last forever, so I'm surprised that there's zero mention of...

Notably, I didn't see any mention of USA Pre-clearance facilities.

Did you get from the place where you were to the place where you wanted to be? If there had been an accident, would the seat have allowed you to survive an instantaneous 15G load in the vertical direction and/or 9G in the horizontal? If so, then yes.

And more likely to be profitable for the airline, since there are likely to be many more people travelling NCL-AMS and AMS-SOU than there will be travelling NCL-SOU.

I haven't written it off completely (I was just in San Francisco last week for a conference), but it definitely is low on my list of preferred destinations. Also, until and unless things change, any travel to the USA will either be via Dublin or Toronto so that I use the CBP pre-clearance...

Almost certainly due to the high fuel costs that you mention. It doesn't take much to turn a slightly profitable route into an absolute financial basket case.
