The B727-200 can't reach LAX from Miami if the winds are wrong, and if they can't reach LAX they can't reach SFO and points north (PDX, SEA). National 727's had to stop in Houston for fuel during the DC10 grounding period and Northeast often stopped for fuel on "non-stop" flights, and so did Delta.
