It shouldn't fall to a junior, and usually probationary First Officer to make the trains run on time. This is a billion dollar corporation being cheap by both not awarding trips to premium bidders and refusing to adjust the RAP times to more accurately reflect the schedule. Both would cost $$$.

I stopped "helping out" when I see short-call trips get awarded to me as a reserve the day before with 20+ premium bids. I'll be at the gate 2:30 after they call me. And if Capt 1600 Sick Trips is standing there with the release wanting me to sign so he can "drop the brakes" I'll set them straight pretty quickly. The company has shown that they don't care about the passengers or about an on-time departure, so I no longer feel the need to rush myself.
