Takeoff/Departure Briefing

The shorter the briefing, the better, to be performed by the PF.
Or do you want to fall asleep during the briefing...?
In most cases, "standard briefing" is absolutely sufficient.
Specify the SID, verify initial altitude.
And specify intentions for "immediate return" in case of a major problem.
Brief special circumstances, i.e. icing, weather etc.

I spent half of my career in simulators (747), besides flying the line.
One time, in simulator, being PF, I briefed (for 2 minutes) including...
"Should we have an engine failure before V1 we shall climb runway heading to 800 AGL"
"In case of engine failure after V1 we shall reject, bla bla bla"...
Nobody noticed, nobody listened, nor the F/O, F/E and 2 observers.
Long briefings are just for the pleasure of post-mortem of the CVR.
V1 go-no go is clear and understood from your first performance lessons.
Why have a "Roman Low Mass liturgy" and waste you saliva...?

Happy contrails
