I met a CSR at an FBO in Long Beach a while back who was leaving for Oklahoma City for controller school and then going straight to LAX tower for OJT starting on the clearance position, then ground, then local control. Even though a Full Performance Level controller will be watching over her shoulder, that's a sobering thought for any professional pilot and just a reminder that, to borrow a phrase, eternal vigilance is the price of safety.
Just my opinion, but I dont know what the big deal about LAX is all about. Parallel runways. None to very few private pilots. Almost always using the 24s and 25s. No LAHSO. Other than morning fog, no real weather issues. The only real issue is the foriegners (roy-er means roger). But theres really not that many of them.
I would think that LAX is easier than BUR, SNA, SFO, BOS, ORD ....
