Not sure I fully understand - is 7:53 the scheduled arrival into EWR, or just when a specific flight arrived one day last week?
If the latter, what is the scheduled arrival time?
If the former, I'm surprised that MCT at EWR is less than the 37 minutes available.
FT'ers - is current D-I MCT available somewhere on UA's website? If it is, they don't make it easy to find.
