PHL minimum connection time

Hi,
What is the recommended transfer time at PHL from a domestic on AA to an International on BA?
I can see that on a flight I’m looking at there is just a 53 connection time. Is this doable?
what happens if I didn’t make the international flight? It is down to AA to get me to London on another flight or my issue as I selected a flight with a short connection time?
thanks

If both flights are on the same PNR, it would be the responsibility of the late-delivering carrier to protect you. If the AA flight is on time and you dawdle, that could be a different story.

If on 1 ticket AA will rebook you on the next available flight to LHR. Not your problem unless you deliberately miss the flight. Nothing to worry about.
