At 5pm, I just don't see how I'm going to make it unless I run like a maniac. For example, today's flight status shows the same incoming flight arriving at gate A11 and the connecting flight leaving from gate E32.

I called AA and the agent was very sympathetic. However, she said I would have to pay the change fee if I wanted to change my flights.

Is 40-minute connection considered a legal minimum connecting time at CLT?

Just call again... if another agent tells you the same thing, request to speak to a supervisor.
