My instinct is that it's tighter than I would prefer with the risk of winter weather, but my nonstop was apparently just canceled and the evening ATL connection looks like the best alternative for my schedule, plus it adds a bunch more MQMs to my G A P ticket.

BTW, it's currently looking like one segment will be a BE configured 757 since it has only 16 FC seats, so I'm tempted to jump on it.

What would you do?
A little risky, but as a DL DM, they'd take care of you. I wouldn't sweat it too much. Might get the ride in the Porsche if your connection gets really tight!
