Modest growth on most routes, decrease for both BHX and GLA.

Ferry is a minimum of 2 hours. Factor in checkin-in a minimum of 30 mins before departure. 90 mins drive Cairnryan to Glasgow centre is ambitious, doable provided you are first off the ferry and don't get stuck behind anyone on the A77. Also taking your own car massively ramps up the price and the minimum return price for that is £148 usually, unless you purchase it in the sale.
BFS-GLA - arrive at STD-40. 45 min block time. Bus to Glasgow City centre - 30 mins. And unless you're booking last minute, still cheaper than £150.
As for demand... I assume you've seen the amount of freight that uses the ferries? Plenty of times I've used P&O and Stena Line and there's only ever been a handful of passengers, the rest are commercial drivers.

Block time is until brakes-on. Add on time for airbridge and making secure until doors open. Then another 10 minutes through the airport to the bus station. Then wait for the bus.
There's easily another hour of hurry-up-and-wait you've elided from that air journey. I'm not saying ferries are fast ( not since they scrapped the HSS anyway ) but overall air travel is slower now than any time since the 1950s.

EasyJet Aircraft Update
One of the A319s is being upgraded to a A320 on Wednesday (7th).
Making it 3x A319 & 2x A320.
6th aircraft (A320) arrives around 22nd June for the new routes starting to IOM, NAP, VLC. (Still a few gaps for a few extra flights or a new route or two on the extra A320)

EasyJet extra flights S18
Looking at July 2018 and there is some extra flights added.
BHX - extra Sunday flight
FAO - extra Monday & Friday flights
PMI - extra Wednesday flight
AGP - extra Thursday flight
MAN - extra Sunday flight
Appears to fill most of the gaps. Monday & Friday mornings are still available.
So possibly one new route to be added!
