Maybe in Netjets, but the reality is different in most of the operators. Do that two times and see what happens.
The sad truth, true for any company using this nonsense reporting time is that it's a not so subtle way to skirt the FTL legislation. The crew is still expected to show up in whatever time is considered necessary to get the job done, which is surely more than 60 minutes in all passenger flights.
It goes without saying that it can take as little as 15 minutes to get everything done for a ferry flight on a plane that is refuelled, but that's not what we are talking about.
