I guess this mystery is too hard to solve.
If you are flying for a major, someone knows the EDCT times. I'm sure that asking someone in your company (LCA) how it works will yield results. At United the info is located in SHARES or by calling DX. I'm sure AA and DAL have similar systems. Using your company's public facing app or an internet tool would be the last place I would look.
Have you also considered that remaining at the gate could cause issues as well? Some airports have the gates booked to the minute, so even with a 1hr delay they want you off. Lots of variables.
