Qantas Flight 108 which leaves JFK at 19:00 only allows for international online connections and stopover traffic at LAX. I would take this to mean when arriving in LA, you will be in a sterile environment.
While this could be a minor irritant it is offset but what should be great service cross country in business class. I'd venture a guess it will blow away AA's domestic business service,
