Now there's maybe a market for Scotland-LAX/SFO on a 2-3 weekly summer holiday basis but LAX isn't a hub for any of the US majors so seems pretty unlikely. American back on PHL-EDI now they have all their new B787-8s and more B787-9s on the way makes more sense for 2024 IMHO.
Scotland just doesn't have the front cabin numbers from California to make the use of a B787 worthwhile IMHO.
