[QUOTE=Skipness One Foxtrot;11444736]LAX-LHR does well with the front cabins being packed out with some seriously high earners, allowing decent fares down the back. LAX-LHR on United is just now back to 2 x daily after they massively downsized long haul out of T7 and closed the Dreamliner pilot base. 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.[/QUOTE

LAX is a hub for United and Delta Airlines. I have been in both this year. They are more focused on West bound Pacific traffic and transcontinental flights. T4 SFO is a Delta hub and had a number of European flights and code shares that I saw.
