In the same way, departure information on ual.com may be seen as deceiving -- the time posted is generally the wheels-up time and not the push-back from the gate (and if the latter is the case, then there will be a special statement saying "left the gate at xx:xx".) It's actually kind of interesting because it allows you to find out the precise take-off time.
