Thank you,
Zarf4, that's very helpful. I've looked at the arrival times for this flight over the past month and it's consistently within a few minutes of schedule, so hopefully I don't have to worry about a wild swing -- or if so, it will be on the late side, rather than the early side. Your 1:15 approximation is about what I was guessing, so it's nice to have that validated by someone who has so much more experience at this than I do.
Of course, it's well within US Airways wheelhouse for
my flight into LAX to be 2 hours late -- or canceled altogether. But that's what backup plans are for.
