Naw. UA's cut quite a few early departures, especially out of LAX. One that made multiple cross country flights possible was the 6 am to SFO given how poorly the current UA serves LAX.

Also, UA's pushed more flights ex-LAX into prime time without concern for where you might be able to connect feasibly - as well as cut back severely for non-stop Western US regional legs - so you still have to go somewhere else such as SFO and DEN for the few UA/UX flights that are left.

Personally, I've mostly given up on UA out of LAX given the limited options now left.
