The reason they put TEM into the briefings is that over the years they filled the briefings with so much useless jibber jabber that on the rare occasion when there was something important to talk about in the briefing, they didn't talk about it because they were too busy talking useless jibber jabber and the other bloke had stopped listening 5 minutes ago anyway.
They're not there yet, but it's a step in the right direction. The principle should be to stop and have a little think about whether there is something new, unusual or unfamiliar that might have some effect on the operation, and might be worth having a chat about. This might include a NOTAM, an MEL, weather, terrain, unfamiliar airport, anything. If so, what are we going to do to make sure we don't fk it up? It's that simple. What it should not include is briefing useless crap like the flamin' MSA at an airport you fly to every day in radar assisted CAVOK conditions.
