Anyone encounter this before?
Sure. To the tune of about 2 hours (maybe even 2.5 hours?) when departing PTY. From what I recall, there was a SABRE outage that day so the check in process was fully or mostly manual. The 2 hour +/- delay was taken after we had closed up and pushed back from the gate.
