So I called Delta and asked the flights to be changed (there is a direct JFK-IST flight). "No way" came the response. "The connection is legal and you are arriving in IST a few minutes earlier than before."

"Then why am I being told by Delta that I many miss the flight?"

"The computer does this sometimes."

So what's the story here?
I had the EXACT same connection on the EXACT same routing and got that message back in January. Everything worked out fine.
