Daily LHR/SFO flight BA 287/284 - Cargo?
I see a daily 787-9 flight from LHR to SFO despite not currently scheduled for pax: seems to be on the ground in SFO roughly 40 minutes before returning.
just curious - is this a daily cargo flight, or just retaining slots? As not bookable until June it seems.

As reported before in one of the COVID threads, yes, it's a freight-only flight that uses the slots of the passenger flight.

See these threads for some info:
BA LHR-SFO very unusual.....
How many flights are cargo only?
Also, basource has regularly reporting of cargo/freight flights:
