The OP got caught out by this on a trip last winter so is understandably more cautious and concerned about that reduced connection time.
Done. This time, the Twitter team was able to help unlike last year when they couldn't put us back in our original seats that were still open. The schedule change delay was probably because MIA-STL was moved up 20 minutes, downgauged to a 319, and isn't loaded in the system yet (?) App shows original MIA-STL, but schedule change blurb shows the changes.

Being proactive gives us 2.5 hours now, and kept us out of IDG on the second leg. Moral of story: Check your future flights weekly and/or set up alerts on EF.

I'm still keeping my plan B until we're in the air MIA-STL. I wish DL wasn't so $$$$. UA is an overnight in EWR on the trip down and an overnight somewhere coming back.
