Which leaves crew with two options.
1) Remain in the crewroom until briefing is complete.
2) Continue the foreshortened brief in flight.
Both case clearly require a MOR and possibly further action, up to and including declining further flights until this critical failure in the flight safety system is addressed. I can see no other option but to decline the duty.
In no case can a Professional crew defend carrying on regardless and respond with "not surprised" when an incident occurs.
I acknowledge that the above is a difficult path to take, but it is surely the only path that a properly motivated
and properly protected employee could take.
I respectfully suggest that a plea of "7 minutes to print, read, understand, brief and leave crew room = not surprised" would cut no ice whatsoever with a law court - indeed it would seal your guilt instantly.
"Not surprised" just won't do.
