Lyon Passport Control Opened only 25 mins before flight

This am flight from Lyon at 06:45 but passport control (non Schengen as going to London LHR). Only opened at 06:20 even airline crew had to wait. The Mont Blanc Lounge, which BA use was the other side of the passport control so by the time we got though, had to run for the flight. A French passenger said that this was normal and BA do not seem to be able to change the opening of passport control, even though boarding was meant to be at 06:05. Surely the crew getting on so late means that preparations are rushed and dangerous?
Is it normal for BA not to be concerned about safety like this?
Why pay for club if the lounge will be unaccessible even though it opens at 05:00
