Agree with what BOAC said
I say bugger their slack-arse culture and roll up on time and
do the wx/fuel/notams yourself. If the so-called training capt
hasn't appeared by then proceed to the aircraft and that way
when buggerlugs decides to turn up you won't be pressured
as much.
Sounds like you're either in XXX or with some slack bunch
of XXX misfits....
(probably need to keep any racial references out for the morals police - JT)
