With no checked bags, and no delays on the flight, and no delays getting off the flight, and no delays on the train, and no long delays at security at T7, you have a good shot at making it.
If any of these do not hold true, you will almost certainly not make it.

Do report back. Good luck.

Update:
Sorry and thanks Blumie - just seeing your post now where you are stating MCT 2h
With a schedule change it seems that tickets can be issued with a MCT < 2h
So the question is: Will this stick or would you suggest to sort things proactively? (don"t want to lose my nice bubble 747 seats)

​​​​​​​(and sorry for the confusion)



Many thanks Global321

I can confirm - meeting all these requirements.
However, at the BA forum our expert people advised, the MCT for T7-T8 would be 2h minimum.
Our ticket had been auto-adjusted this morning (looks lke for not meeting MCT in JFK).
However we brought it back with a very friendly AA Exec Plat representative to the original routing.
BA forum advises, that this will most certainly happen again (auto adjustment/ change due to non-sufficient MCT)

What is the AA forum's combined experience with this?
Shall I better change proactively already or may I slip through?

Thanks for advise

P.S,: To add, yes we have checked bags, but this is a US-Europe and bags are checked through with no need to pick them up in JFK.
