Not really sure what you're implying there. 60 minutes is the report time before duty, not 'at the a/c'. We are required to conduct a pre flight brief beforehand so it's quite acceptable to get to the plane 45 minutes before departure. That would still allow enough time to prep and go.
What I find amazing is how 99% of our colleagues are quite happy to brief cabin crew 23 minutes before official report and be on the bus 8 minutes later. It's bad enough as it is but when it follows a day off and you're on a 0700 or 0710 departure, you're actually violating your previous day off by starting a duty before 0600.
Still, as long as we all complain on PPRune, I'm sure things will change...........
