Sitting in LAX

I'm sitting in LAX Terminal 1 right now, waiting for our plane to board. I don't know if it's just me, but we're flying US Air this time and I'm finding the whole process just confusing. First of all, always avoid airlines in the same terminal as Southwest. Their lines invade everything. But then US Air has multiple gates clustered in the same area, and people line up when nothing says that any particular flight is boarding. So our flight might be starting to board, or it might not. I just don't know.
