Does DL still exempt their top level elites from the SDC fee? Either way it seems CO expects the fee train to continue to grow.

This is going to make onward connections from EWR a huge pain arriving on an international flight. I usually book the "safe" flight then stand-by if I clear security for the earlier flight.

Now it appears the best thing to do is book the risky flight connection and take advantage of the 2 hour fee-free window if I miss that flight.
