However, if the incoming flight was delayed such that I missed the connecting flight, I assume that I'd be left to my own devices (and credit card) in rescheduling my connecting flight.

DL continues to say that the legal connection is 70 minutes but in inquiring further I learned that this is not specific to DL to DL connections but covers all domestic connections including one airline to another.

For those of you familiar with DL's current operations at LAX what are your thoughts as to the wisdom of rolling the dice and booking 2 one way tickets with a 44 minute connection time?

Thanks in advance for any sage advice and insight.
