Do not change the start date with your new employer. If you do, you are indicating that you are putting your new employer second and your old employer first. Don't do that.
Your thoughts about extending with your old employer are working to solve a problem that isn't yours to solve. If you leave on time as planned, you won't be employed at the old employer. None of the problems of old employer should concern you.
Lastly, there is a chance you are stealing an opportunity from your coworker. If the old employer really needs coverage then they will quickly learn how valuable your coworker is....unless delay your departure and solve the problem for your old employer. Don't do that. Let your coworker demand a king's ransom for delaying their vacation, or a hefty raise when they return because they are the only ones that do the job after you're gone. Additionally, maybe this will teach your old employer they need to staff up in your department so there aren't just two people in this critical role.
You delaying your start date with new employer breaks all of that.
Appreciate the breakdown. I'll keep this in mind for the future.
