Boeing, while I agree wit you that crazy long briefs are a cmplete waste of time, in FR the DALTA was just a structure for you to brief. It was up to you to brief, revelant points of the approach you were flying. In saying that you could manuplate the format as to the des you were flying to, some needed long briefings as to the type af arrival you might be conducting to a certain busy airport where as others needeed a little less consideration due to the frequency of their arr/dep and there capabilities. Long briefs should be a thing of the past in my opinion.
But a threat should be started (and maybe has) on the amount of people in our profession that like to hear the sound of their own voice.
