Have you done them at Express? Some like them, some don't. If ya don't like it, just trade it for something else. If you want 24 hrs in LA, then bid it. I like it, get up early, go hang out at Manhattan/Santa Monica beach, stare at the women in bikinis. Go back to the hotel, take a nap, then fly the red eye back. Done by 9 am with some soft time too boot. The other half can be crappy. But I wouldn't say that AEX, LCH, LBB, MLU, MGM, LFT, ISP, ORF, or many others are that great either.
I would say that about half the Mexican layovers are not that bad. When they put you up on the beach (PVR, IXT, VER, and SJD I think), its great. Beer is cheap, people are friendly, titty bars are awesome.
They don't discontinue them, they are seasonal. And a money maker.
