LOL. It's Newark, it will be at least 40.
(Salty from last Sunday where a mechanical delay put us into A 2 hours late, ran through, got on the bus, and ran to my connection @ C72 out to find the door "just" closed (and an insolent gate agent who was wearing headphones, refused to call a supervisor the first 3 times I asked and finally called someone who wasn't a supervisor and never showed up (I know because once I found a supervisor, the sup for that zone turned out to be a very nice gentleman and confirmed no one called him... Turned out "only" spending 4 extra hours in EWR but only because seats on the last flight mysteriously opened when I talked to the third CSR about rebooking)
Had we landed anywhere in C I have no doubts I would have made that.
Had we had a bus route that didn't involve a scenic tour of Manhattan and 45 stop signs I probably would have made that connection.
Had UA done anything proactively, that connection could have been saved.
But nope. It's the (clean, bright) circle of hell...
