Three question:
1. Does this connection seem doable?
2. Also, do most Avro jets deplane at a gate or remote stand? I ask because deplaning at a remote gate will eat into my connection time.
3. That said, even if my flight is at a remote stand, is the transfer generally painless and efficient?

Thanks, fellow FTers!
1) yes but tight ! Do not loose time en-route.
2) yes most of the time, so definitely, it will eat your connection time
3) I would say yes, but in your case the process will not be as "short" as if you were deplaning at a gate with a jetway.
Keep in mind the following :
- you will have to go through security (but not through immigration)
- T2E has 3 different concourses (K, L, M gates). If you are driven by bus to the terminal (from DUB), you will be dropped at the main 2E building (K gates). If your flight to SEA departs from K, then it will be quick. If you depart from L or M, you'll have to take an automatic train to reach your concourse. It runs very frequently. To pass security, do not hesitate to ask to skip the line if you are running short of time.
