Unless your flight is more than an hour late, you should be OK.
As far as the PHX is concerned, I have no idea.
A couple different opinions here. Any other thoughts? I can switch my inbound AA flights to route through ORD and arrive in LAX 1 hr earlier (10:30AM), but it would only be a 40 minute connection in ORD, and would be more of a weather concern there than in PHX. I am not sure if leaving the day before is viable, but I can look into it. Obviously that would be cheaper than missing a flight in this situation, but not sure if being that conservative is necessary.
