I don't plan on checking luggage. I know that there's the whole pre-screening process before you get to the gate area for all US-bound flights. Other than that, am I crazy for attempting this?

Thanks all!

I've done this with 1:15 to make the transit and it was tight, even with Acces #1 which I hope you have. The Avro jets have docked at a gate but I still had to go through the security check (regardless of whether it is the same non-Schengen terminal for arrival and departure). I had only carry-on but my bag was opened and unpacked, as were the bags of people ahead of me. You may be ok, but personally I would rebook, particularly if you don't have Acces #1 (J travel or Sky Elite Plus).
