We can agree to disagree. You appear to be making a presumption that the people who schedule AA MCTs are of normal intelligence. And if they are of normal intelligence they will know that current flight schedules with staffing issues would never work with a 30 minute MCT at virtually any airport in the US for more than 50% of typical passengers. I actually concentrate on AA MCT postings a lot because they have been wrong for the most part in the past 3 years, but I rarely worry about UA/LH MCTs during this same time period.

Most recently we have been doing AA PHL to EU J flights. While AUS is pretty good, we can't trust a connection AUS-PHL-EU given the current climate. So we go in to PHL a day before and do the tourist thing.
