The US operation in LAX is quite small. Absorbing it in the short run is probably feasible; in the medium-term is easy. The question is what to do about long-term growth.
AA is getting preferential access to four gates in the new TBIT terminal, which would be more than enough to accommodate the international flights and remaining wide-body domestics. (Is there room for gate reconfiguration after that?) Plus the T4-TBIT connector will be finished by 2015 to ease connections. The Eagle's Nest is getting a new AC, and doesn't appear to be going anywhere...
