Northbeach, thanks so much for the detail!!
I love visiting the US, will be back in August, but the biggest difference, I suppose, between our two countries is the size of the population.
The amount of air traffic in and around LAX must, of course, be quite significant.
When I visit this time I will be taking my first domestic flight within the US,
LAV-JFK. I imagine the same sort of scenario might unfold on your internal flights as well.
I shall most certainly keep that info in mind, my pleasurable flying experiences involve trying to understand what the pilot and/or aircraft may be up to,therefore, I enjoy research and checking things out.
My wife,however, maintains its not her job and somebody will get us there safely. We both travel happily.
Much appreciated, cheers
