The standard (and not SOP) pre-flight briefing these days seems to be

"Well, the weather's fine and there are no NOTAMs to affect us... Flight Plan Fuel?"

How about mentioning....

1. The callsign?
2. The destination alternate?
3. The minimum fuel to divert there?
4. Does the contingency and Rec extra cover all the step below flt lvls?
5. Any Crit Points on the route?

And then the weather and NOTAMs.

The list could go on, but I post these, since I feel they should be briefed as a minimum requirement. It takes 15 seconds longer, but looks and sounds far more professional.
