Good points about TNC, Some of this will work out on its own. I saw the thread you linked to, and others, but they were mostly started prior to the implementation, so I figured I'd start a fresh one as of November 1.
The mistake to me is lumping taxis in with the other ride services.
Taxis always had dedicated stations at LAX, and it was professional and organized. It was slow sometimes, especially when waiting at T4-T7, and you had to wait in a long line...but at least that line was well labeled, and there were LAX employees at the stations to get you on your way. I don't see the reason to make taxis now wait in the same congested area as the Uber kids.

Also, I was reading that towncar and private services are allowed to pick you up at the curb as always, so the Taxi unions must love that.
