If the company gives you a quick departure, and you need the full 60/90 from notification, fine. Let them know when they notify you of the assignment.
60/90 is the standard. If you can do it quicker, fine. But if you can’t meet that standard, just be ready to answer the question why not if asked.
Pretty simple.

And if you do accept an assignment with less than the FOM flight planning time, and have to file an FSAP later for an incident (related or not), be ready to answer why the full allowed time wasn’t part of the assignment acceptance process. As I said earlier, pushing earlier likely wouldn’t be an issue, but accepting an assignment that has less than the (required?) time at the time of the assignment may become one.
