EOA at LAX was available, however, I chose to skip since I didn't want to risk missing connection.
There was NO line at Mobile Passport while EOA had about 10-12 pax (Global Entry line), thus a viable option for those still awaiting CA. Just make sure to use the app immediately in the terminal since mobile reception is poor once you get to passport control.
I was able to reschedule an interview on 12/4/2019 at Otay Mesa (San Diego) border crossing the day before. Arrived 45 minutes early and interview was conducted 30 minutes early. Questions included business/personal travel, countries traveled, and why my wife didn't apply for GA. Was told that I was approved and given my KTN. This location has long hours (original interview scheduled at 7:15pm) and accessible by public transportation.
This might be a viable option for SoCal applicants who are willing to take a trip to the border. Good luck to all.

As others noted, check constantly for newly available appointment slots as I was able to snag one on 12/20/2019 at Otay Mesa.
Hopefully, I will be able to get Enrollment on Arrival on 12/2/2019 at LAX with a 2.5 hour connection.
Good luck to all.
