If they call you for a flight going out in an hour, their definition may be that 30 minutes is a reasonable time. Other people typically live within 30 minutes of their workplace. Didn't get there in that time? You just caused a delay and you're going to pay.
I'd be worried about this type of ambiguity.
But our job has very little in common with "other people." Other people drive to and from work 5 times a week and sleep in their own beds every night. Management can't change the contract at will. Even if management decides on a "reasonable time," the contract has to be amended to reflect the new restriction or its not a restriction.
