Delta operates with a general 35 minute Minimum Connect Time at MSP.

DL operates with a general 30 minute MCT at DTW.

Both have a significantly larger geographic gate footprint than DL's ops in Seattle.

DL ops have - over the past year or so - the best on-time performance in decades.

Optimized MCTs create more connecting possibilities and minimize the FT'er whining about what to do with x hours in XXX while waiting for a connection.

Anyone else remember the 20 minute MCT at CVG when DL had more than 400 flights daily?
