Why does KLM offer this specific combination of flights (GRU -> AMS -> POZ) just on one day when there's a time change?

7/20/2022 6:36:05 PM Daylight Savings Time change in the Netherlands . Turns out the timing is awkward: the flight from GRU comes in at 11:45 and the one to POZ leaves at 12:10. That’s not enough time to make it the same day, and taking the next day flight creates a 24+ hour layover, which […]
