Actually I decided right after I wrote that post that the 44-minute connection was making me too anxious (plus I didn’t like that my new flight got me in 90 minutes later, for a weekend trip). So I called and got it changed to a 90-minute connection and an earlier arrival. Shockingly, not only was my hold time less than 2 minutes, I also got the change made with no pushback at all. Yay!
