In the company I work for we only do like about 20ish different destinations. Most of them are daily flights. By the book, when the PF is done with the FMS, the PM will check it and then the PF will brief. Of course it includes a long and boring briefing of the SID/STAR and approach plates. In daily operation, I almost never brief as we are very familiar with the airports we fly to. I will ask my colleague if he has any doubts, and unless he is a new guy and wants a briefing, that's the end of it: '' Standard briefing''. Period. I rather keep my energy and focus on flying the plane instead of wasting time talking unnecessarily. Maybe a quick mention about threats or special procedures if applicable. If weather is marginal, I will quickly recall the items for the go around and what's my intention in case of missed approach. Most of the time, I will review in my head the emergency procedure in case of rejected take off and the go around items during the approach '' just in case''.
