Just like any other assignment, if you happen to push earlier no problem, but accepting an assignment with less than 60 minute could be.
The way it really works is he shows up at 0400 for his FSB and gets assigned the 04XX departure... the flight will “actually” leave when he completes flight planning, setup, and checks. Oh yeah... No add pay.
