despite late push, AS8 landed EWR ~25 min before AS11 (EWR-SEA) departure ... got on the phone with the 75K desk as we cleared the runway, and by the time we blocked in (T-17) the agent was telling me everything was ok ... got to the adjacent gate ~T-12 as the GA was calling for two other pax, showed my BPs for EWR-PDX-SEA and said I was waiting for reissue to finish ... she said the flight was closed, and they actually pushed at T-7

fortunately the phone agent was able to get my F seats back on the original flights

PSA: the Admirals Club closed at 1700 today; not sure if this is their normal schedule
