Given that this trip is also kind of a mileage run, this would add free 500 miles to my tally (PQM only, no change for RDM)...but should I risk this short connection? I know that at DCA everything is handled in a single, short walk concourse, and normally the flight time to DCA is about 30 minutes less that the scheduled time - but would YOU book such a connection?

Thanks for your opinions on that - after a similarly complex itinerary completed last week without any hickup (all flights on time or early even during the winterstorm at EWR) I currently feel a little daring...:-)!
