This same conversation is had at every airline. I spent a lot of time with Delta reserves and they played the same game. It's not an indication of the company, it's the industry.

My question is, if they call you for a showtime that's 10 minutes before departure time, can I make them adjust the departure time to give me an hour from check in? I usually just show up and do my thing in the crew room anyway. I've had it where I didn't catch it and it cost me short term parking.

Phone call from Crew Services :00
+:15 minutes , Return their call (FSM)
However long it takes for them to answer, +:00 to the usual :20+ minutes. NOW it's positive contact. (FSM)
Your 2:00 starts now...to report, not departure.
flight crew will be given NO LESS than :30 minutes for flight deck prep (FOM)
People on board. Best pilot sitting next to you did everything...DOESN'T MATTER. 30 MINUTES from your show time is the least the company can reduce the departure time(FOM). You need more then 30 minutes? I'm sure you wouldn't hear anything from the suits if you took 45 minutes. Over an hour, I think you'd get a call the next day.
Good luck

To add... Rushing leads to making mistakes. Fact of life. The company loves to add external pressures (lately the gate agents are the primary cause, even when you're not in this late callout situation), and this will be the time you missed something and it is your a$$ on the line physically and legally, not theirs. Take your full 2 hours and your full 30 min prep. Not to mention you're not fit for duty if you're scatterbrained from your mad rush or you haven't taken time to address your nutritional needs.
