I suspect arrival time is when the a/c comes to a stop (and as you say, engines shut down) where pax can disembark. If there's a customs holdup (arriving at AA's JFK terminal before 6am), or if the jetway is broken or there's not one to run it. it's not the airline's fault.

Well, actually, the jetbridges are generally operated by the airline employees, so if there's no one there to run it, it is the airline's fault, just as much as if there was nobody there to fly the plane...
