thoughts go out to those hurt and to the family of the TSA agent killed. Pretty surreal to see all this on TV when I go through that airport every week...including this sunday. I guess we will see how long it takes the national air network to recover.

Essentially half their network mabye more is now down. I guess they can ferry aircraft around but its going to cost them quite a bit.
In this situation do they book out of towners into hotels? I remember they did have a partnership with the Hilton LAX few years ago...

Possible shots fired at LAX - VX terminal
I was scheduled to fly out of that terminal on VX last night. I tried calling in to see what would happen to my reservation but I couldn't get through because their call center was overloaded. Thankfully VX sent out an email to me informing me the flight was canceled about 4 hours prior to takeoff time. They also issued a travel voucher allowing full refund or free itinerary change. I was able to cancel and get a full refund seamlessly on my phone. Thank you VX for handling this extraordinary circumstance so well.

I read that the LAX T3 ticket counters are open and passengers should check in there, but the airside portion of the terminal remains closed. What terminal are passengers going to to catch buses to the remote stands?

Guests check-in at T-3 and are being directed to our aircraft parked remotely at Tom Bradley Intl Terminal.
