Is Delta still running shuttles at LAX?

Unlike JFK/ATL you must check bags at the correct terminal. You can't check bags at T2 for say an Austin flight, nor at T3 for a JFK flight.

She says he will need to go to T3 to check in and he says that "he is a DM and should be able to check in wherever I want to". I would be mad too because at the time there was no signage telling PAX this (there is now) and both SP lines were very long.

many things wrong with this
You have to check in with the operating carrier. Even though you bought the ticket through Delta, you're flying Virgin Australia. So you have to check in with them, wherever they are.
Also, for Pre Check, getting pre check corresponds to the operating carrier, not the selling carrier. Virgin Australia does not participate in pre check, so you wouldnt get pre check with them anyway.
Check in with Virgin and then walk over to the TBIT. That's how it will work. Period.

this is an economy ticket purchased through Delta with the Delta Amex card. is it safe to assume I will be able to access the Delta Lounge. will I be able to use any lounge in TBIT.

Oh, and VA like a few other foriegn airline has very strict carry-on rules. 7 kg carry-on limit, even for J. They do give some concessions for laptops, an extra 3kg I think. But although I travel light, and rarely check in the USA, I would struggle to cross the pacific with only 10kg luggage. So most people check bags.

The only DL related item is your status and possible Skyclub access. You won't get precheck flying VA anyway, they don't participate. You'd have to see if they let you access the DL terminal with a VA ticket (probably not). If they do, then you can get SkyPriority security by flashing your card, and access the Skyclub. But you have to deal with the bus. It would be the same situation when DL was in T5 other than a bit more walking.

Afterwards we joked that if anybody looked at the tapes we would probably look pretty suspicious
Ahh, the good old days...
