1584/21AUG
P EWR/OUT 457P E00.08 EST OFF 555P
F SFO/ETA 808P E00.08

SKED EWR ORIG 505P GTD C82 SHIP 3135
SFO 816P TERM GTA 90


How common would it be for an agent to assume that the OFF didn't register or propagate to the system for some reason and that the ETA seen in the screen is still to be trusted (assuming that company would have updated it to a later time if actually delayed)?
