I don't think the airlines allow their employees to do as they please or we'd all be in trouble. so there can be no "so called cut off". I spoke with the czech people at JFK, and the 150 minutes check in requirement is for "check in", which is fairly standard practice with most airlines flying international. Which means you have to be at the airport (in the building, on the line, not in the parking lot) for check in. And given how busy JFK is, you need extra time. Again every airline has a cut off, so does Czech, if you didn't make then you didn't make it.
