Unfortunately, it's not. Thanks, I'll look to see if MKE would work instead of MSP. Wouldn't be looking forward to a 4 hr drive at the end of a vacation from MSP to MSN
Update: Looks like MSP -> MKE is exactly 1:15 connection time. Not great, but better than less than an hour. Guess I'll call Delta to see what they can do. Would stink if there's a later MSP -> MSN flight change with a longer connection time, but I can't rely on that happening....

What's your beef exactly? That info for air travel occasionally references inaccurate or obsolete data?

ExpertFlyer does not determine the information in MCTs. Airlines do. The airlines, for whatever reason, determined that MSP-STP connection info should be included in the MCTs for MSP. It's not EF's job to decide if that information is relevant or not; it's their job to display whatever information the airlines say is included in the MSP MCTs. And they do that job quite well.
That said, if you hate its inclusion in our Wiki so much, why don't you just delete the STP information from the Wiki?

Have to go to SJC last minute. Only option that doesn't have me in a middle seat for the long flight is via MSP with a 33 minute connection. Is that doable or a potential disaster in the winter? We don't appear to have any winter weather coming to RDU so shouldn't be any risk of a de-icing delay but of course many other things could go wrong
And yes I've looked at SFO and the options are just as bleak plus I'd have to drive all the way down to San Jose

When are you looking to fly? Today the inbound flight arrived at F3 and the Outbound was G22. Tomorrow it’s F3 and G22. That’s doable with moving sidewalks most of the way. Yesterday was C4 to G22. That’s farther but has moving sidewalks the whole way so also doable if you get off the plane quick and don’t need to make any prolonged pit stops.
