The other nice thing I have recently considered about LAX is you have potentially 6-7 places to commute from: LAX, SNA, ONT, SAN, PSP, LGB, maybe BUR? All of which fly either fly to SLC and ATL, so hopefully catching a ride to work in the early stages while waiting for an LAX opening will be tolerable.
Not that I have a dog in the Delta fight yet, but in normal/light traffic, SAN and PSP are a 2hr drive to LAX. BUR, SNA and ONT can be less but if you hit rush hour, forget it. I don't know the public transit too well from most of those to LAX but I know from San Diego it would not be convenient at all, unfortunately. LGB is 20-30min during normal traffic but I've seen it take upwards of 2hrs in traffic. Good luck, I hope this helps somehow!
