Ever been suckered into a guaranteed missed connection by “the system” ?
Yup.
When AA changed one of our flight times and then notified us of the new times.
Our connection time was approximately *negative* 4 hours. The first leg was due to arrive about 4 hours after the connecting flight was scheduled to leave.
Then, a year later, BA did the same thing, but "only" by about half an hour (not that it matters, of course).
But for "worst"/"most unrealistic", I guess that AA connection "wins".
