Again, thanks everyone. I feel more confident in being able to connect to my MAD flight and, if my inbound arrives late, being able to connect to an IB flight rather than wait until the much later BA flight. Hopefully as a Platinum AA member and flying Busn (oops, World Club) - this will even help more.

If you are not familiar with BA's procedures, have a look around this board for the word "conformance".
Unlike every other airline where catching a flight is a matter of getting to the gate before the door closes, BA has goons posted at security who will forcibly prevent you from catching the flight even when it's perfectly obvious that you could make it.
The goons' normal cut-off time for throwing you off the flight is 35 minutes ahead of scheduled departure, but there's sometimes some variation for connecting pax.
