None of this excuses the attitude the OP's wife encountered, and it does appear that the delay between landing and leaving the plane was not weather related. But her problems started when she chose her original flights.
It was a reward ticket - with that being the only option provided available for the standard reward. Easy Pass was not available on that flight. Also - we all know that CO builds in at least a couple of mins in for ATC delays - and usually they can make the time up in the air.
Of course - we could have spent the $$$ for the direct ticket - but she's on a bit of a budget now - so it was either use miles or don't go.
If it is a posted connection - then it should be good. Yeah, Right.
