My understanding is that QF cannot uplift any pax from LA apart from the ones who have arrived on one of the three early morning QF flights from either Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne. These pax all originate in Australia on QF flights.

Of interest there are 6 airports with an IF procedure within 21nm, the closest being at 4nm and 9nm.
KSBD is the former Norton Airforce Base and RWY 06/24 (3000Mx60M) is rated for the A380 at 1,300,000 lbs. Has latest state of the art ILS.
If you are ever in the area check out KCNO (Chino) which is 21nm W of KSBD and 40nm from KLAX. Chino is home to approx. 1,000 aircraft.

Why not think outside the square? How about Tijuana? At least they would be the only VIRGIN that that town had seen for a looong time! 
I know, I know, I'll see myself out....
(PS, how do you get to be an aircraft purchasing expert? Is there a TAFE course I can do, or an internet based MBA or something? I wonder if he was the guy that told QF to go the light weight floors??? What a cool job!)
