Re-name
Is it just me (maybe because I'm an old f@rt) or should the 'brief'-ing be renamed the 'long'-ing. After listening to these ghastly monologues it is abundantly apparent that 99.9% of what is said is done so to meet a requirement that it be done and not to impart any information. Please, just tell me what is different, unusual or non-standard. As for all the "what if's," how do you decide which ones to brief? What are we going to do if we have a dual engine flame out? What are we going to do if we get hit by a meteor? What are we going to do if, blah, blah, blah....
Rant over... back to your regularly scheduled drivel...
