Welcome to FT.
It has nothing to do with the "new" United.
1. It is UA's practice not to hold planes for delayed passengers (except for some special GSs). There was a reason why UA scored the best on-time departure for legacy airlines before merger.
2. Except for GSs, LAX is always known to be one of the worst hub in the system before the merger (another one is IAD).
3. It is pretty normal that arrival aircrafts have nowhere to park at LAX, as it is not a UA-only problem. Bottom line, LAX is too crowded and airlines keep adding flights like there are spaces.

Based on the pictures between T7-T8, the pmCO guy got the job (as I believe the pmUA is a female).
