Where has all this been published and who announded what? I read the crew notices and I didn't see anything with reference to this, maybe I missed it but I doubt it. I know Part A hasn't been amended.
Our report time is a standard 1 hour pre-flight and if someone has changed that I would know, and I can tell you for sure they haven't. Further, if someone has published something which is at odds with the Operations Manual Part A Sec 7 then the Commander of the flight need only ignore it and record the additional duty time on the Journey Log thena dvise his or her line manager.
If you believe there to be a safety implication in all this then you need only complete an Air Safety Report which goes to the Quality group for recording and will be directed to the investigating officers, you might also speak with the FSO if you wish.
The upshot of my post is, that there CAN be NO change to your standard report time without it forming part of the duty day and I know your Company does not require that of any crew member. Perhaps someone has published a memo without understanding the consequences of their action which has be mis-construed into the requirement to report early. If this is the case then it can be sorted with little more than a phone call to the Ops Manager or the Chief Pilot, why not try that?
