which is correct? CO or CO?

I'm headed for Mykonos from New York on a significant anniversary trip leaving EWR. We booked the nonstop to Athens arriving at 10:20am connecting with Agean Air to Mykonos at 11:30am. My record now shows the Mykonos flight leaving at 10:30 which will be a 10 minute connection. Experts may vary, but presumably 10 minutes doesn't work. The alternative is sitting at Athens airport until around 7:30 at night; not fun. So I check Agean's web site and sure enough, they show the flight at 10:30. Then, I checked the flight on Expedia, Orbitz, ITA, and even as a new flight on CO ---all showed the flight at 11:30, not 10:30. I assume a call to Agean will clear this up, but I'm curious about the discrepency --- it is a daylight savings thing or something? Why would CO show the flight differently on my itinerary than in their search engine?

Very possibly daylight savings time - when is the flight?

Your PNR is a static record, not a live search. Looks like a schedule change from A3 that hasn't hit your PNR yet. Call in and they'll likely change you to the late flight as 10 minutes obviously won't work.

I would not assume that 1 hour and 10 minutes would be enough to clear immigration and connect with a domestic flight either.

First things first, to answer your question, which is COrrect, the answer is CO. CO is always right, never makes mistakes, and can do no wrong. That is CO's mantra, and the soon-to-be 80,000 CO-workers will be working together along those assumptions.

Seriously, though, as has been pointed out, the schedule change hasn't hit yet. They usually do these changes on the weekends, and it could be a few days before they make it back to your record. If the change is significant, as it is in this case, you can rebook or get a refund. Check current prices to see if you can find something better. You may wish to refund this and re-buy if it's advantageous to you. @:-)

You might be correct but we'll be in the front of the plane with carryon luggage and it's a small airport so if we're on time we should be ok, and they can always put us on the later flight if necessary.

It's odd that it's actually the other way around. There's a schedule change in our record, but not in CO's or anyone elses's search engines. So, I let it hang for a few weeks and see what happens.
