It just seems crazy to me that airline sites encourage tight connections yet when it really comes down to it - especially for those who "transit" through the USA it only adds to a sense of frustration and increased blood pressure!

While airlines may rebook you on the "next available" flight it could be one much further down the schedule of flights depending on loads and also many pax like to choose seats etc in advance when available...ie have a nice seat on the connecting flight only to be put into "the pits" on the later re-scheduled connection.

Guess my point is if the airline really recognises that the connection that they offer is not "doable" why offer it?
