Old style immovable object vs new style unstoppable force.
I'm with Pilot Pete on this one. I'd rather give and receive a thorough brief that sets you up to do your job properly when it hits the fan. I have seen on far too many occasions the "old fart" approach and missed approach shambolically cobbled together with me mentally hovering over the appropriate switches and actions miles ahead of the other guy because I performed my own thorough briefing in my head after the "old fart" gave me the "standard calls and drills, brief complete" type flight.
On the flip side, I've seen late go-around at ATC request into complicated and simple missed approaches go like clockwork because of a nice thorough briefing.
Full briefing vs "old fart" briefing? Full for first sector at least please.
