That is at a brisk pace (no running) and getting off from the front of the plane (first class). Obviously, the farther back in coach, the longer it will take.
You can always hop on the cart if you have a walk that is longer than you can comfortably handle or if you need to move a little faster. I've used carts before and the drivers looooooove helping people make tight connections. (Not that 75 minutes is tight.) Just be sure to tip them generously so they remain anxious to help us out in this situation.
In fact, my most wild ride was in Concourse E, from where you flight out is mostly likely going to originate. The driver screamed to the GA as the door was closing, and the GA convinced the FA to reopen the door a little bit so I could be pushed in the cracked open door. The GA operating the Jetway argued with the other GA about doing this, but while they were arguing, the FA opened the door! (Made this flight from end of Concourse B to the back part of Concourse E in 12 minutes.)
