This is for mid September so I don't think there will be another schedule change.

QF arrives LAX 6:25am.
I'm booked on an AA flight to DCA at 8:16am.

I guess you need 2 hours.

I won't have checked bags and I have Global Entry and Pre Check plus Clear. If QF is on time, I know I'll make it.

Any advice?

The current e-ticket segments are MEL-LAX (QF), LAX-JFK (QF), JFK-DCA (AA). The issue requiring the schedule change is AA dropped their PM service JFK-DCA and the new itinerary required an overnight in JFK - that's why the agenct booked LAX-DCA as an immediate connection and I was delighted with that until the people who review partner awards rejected the reissue.

I'm fully prepared for AA to remark record as customer accepts responsibility, no checked baggage accepted, etc.
What would you do if the first flight is late or upon landing at LAX, the flight needs to wait for a gate since the prior flight is still occupying the gate? What you expect from the airline?
