Am a bit torn on this, on the one hand I had to make the trek from T8 to T7 last night on a connection which was originally 1hr 40mins - but strong headwinds coming from LAX meant we pulled onto stand at T8 at 7.55pm and I was on the last BA service which departed at 8.55pm. The airtrain wasn't running, I was on crutches and the stress levels went through the roof. I managed to get a taxi to take from T8 to T7 (and jumped the line on about 500 people) but was caught in T5 traffic jams (JetBlue seemed to go into melt down last night with no gates for tons of planes scattered around the airport). Anyway, I luckily have the JFK CCR lounge number and a quick call meant I was met at the First check-in and escorted through security to the gate which was firmly shut behind me and off we went. While intra-T8 connections between BA and AA will reduce the stress considerably, I would hate if the current CCR team don't move across!
