I've decided to not take this alternative option.
BOM-ADD-CPT on ET611/ET847 is actually a relatively safe connection. ET will have a separate bus on the tarmac when 611 arrives to directly transfer connecting passengers to the next aircraft and bypass the terminal entirely. You can go from one seat to the next in 5 minutes flat.
