That's good if things are all good and well but it doesn't really help with EDCT times. The airplane might arrive on time but have an EDCT time 1.5+hrs away. You probably won't want to be risking it by sitting in a hotel during that time, decent probability the EDCT time could be moved up, but at least you can relax at the airport crew room or food court for a bit. The FAA site is a good choice.
