Will be traveling solo for work so I can be flexible, if I miss the connection. The upside is taking a later morning, direct flight back back to Florida on a VS A350 with Amex Lounge access vs 8:30AM flight from AMS to ATL and then having to connect to Florida.
You have a valid point on all the probabilities of what could possible go wrong either due to wx or mechanical or any other number of factors
