I'd be in favor of 60-minute show times, instead of the current 45, but I wouldn't support crews routinely changing their pickup times and certainly not without discussing it first. I like to have the extra minutes to handle any issues that come up and have time for a cup of coffee when everything runs smoothly.

Does it? FDP starts at show-time as long as the transportation to the airport is local in nature. If you just change the pickup time, and not the show time, I don't think that the FDP or rest period is changed.
