It was silly to book a 35 minute connection to int'l in the first place, but that's another story

My change went to a negative connection time

DFW-SFO-SEA-NRT with at least hour and a half changed to flight to SEA leaving almost an hour BEFORE flight in SFO was to land.

One call fixed it, and was able to find R space to preserve Biz seats ^

Strongly suggest, as others have, to drop a dime and find flights with legal connection time - well, not just legal, but one that's actually doable.
