Plus, where would you plan on parking those 777s at LAX? That place was built for 1960s sized planes, not present day aircraft. LAX isn't built for the kind of feed you would need to do what United does in SFO.

Even if you did get 30 more used 777s tomorrow, you'd still have 54 less than United.

The going rate for big city shakedow-uh, I mean airport improvement development commissions, is about a quarter billion per gate (because things really cost that much, yes they do) but first we have to pay 11B to have the same effect on stock price as if we didn't pay 11B, and then after that we'll have to do the same with many many more billions. But after that, perhaps there can be a proper investment in the needed JV partner facilities.

And ask yourself.
What is their feed?
I've lost count, how many domestic cities do we feed LAX from?
How many domestic cites does Singapore Airlines feed Singapore from?
Zero
In my opinion we can compete head to head from LAX with any Asian carrier.

Count the number of red dots vs. the number of blue dots. There's your answer.

United has 9 more 777s being delivered by the end of 2017. So it would be 92 on the property. Let's just call it 44 less. But the point is LAX doesn't support a single airline like ATL, SFO, DFW, etc to be able to have a massive WB fleet there, because those things need massive small jet feed, which nobody has enough of in LAX. Terminal 9 being built for United only adds 8 or 9 gates and it still won't be enough. And it won't be ready until 2022.
