If they had not waived the fee, my wife and I would have sprinted from the InterIsland terminal to the main terminal. After all, we now need our $$$ to buy food on NW!
IHHO, 60 minutes is more than enough time to make the connection. Your bags might not make it and you might get to your plane during the last calls of boarding, but I've heard of people making 20 minute connections (barely and out of breath).
