This raises some potential problems because whenever SFO has a weather/visibility-related delay--and this happens more often than not--this would seriously impact this particular shuttle route. I fly this route often, and when one or two flights are delayed, the cascade effect can be quite serious, especially when one considers the congestion and constricted space at LAX.
In general yes. However shuttle flights are normally given priority regardless of who flies it.
