The OP learned a hard lesson that those of us who are slaves to connecting in EWR from smaller markets have also learned. I fly regularly from ORF (less than 500 mi) and only take a connection of less than 2 hours when the alternative is more than 3 hours. I don't even look at anything less than an hour.
Why not just be a grown up and book your connections with time to spare..delays happen all the time..if you dont plan extra time between flights then maybe you deserve to miss your connection..its seems like in the 80`s all the flights had 2 hours between them when i flew EA thru ATL all the time..@:-)
