Update: I guess they fixed the issue. A few others on the flight were also connecting. I guess they all collectively decided to try. I told her it doesnt count til they're in the air but wished her luck. Flight just took off. The 3hr layover is no about 20min (to from arrival to departure). Hopefully connection saver helps them out. It's never helped me out. I did tell her that worst case, she spends the night in SFO and has plenty of time to relax
