I detest these parrot style briefs.
The main purpose of the brief is to highlight what is unique or different. Let's say there is an emergency turn for the planned departure (or engine out escape procedure if you prefer). If someone gives the coma inducing standard company brief but omits the ET this is worth one or two out of ten for me. If they say "guys it's all standard today except if we get an engine failure it's vital we fly this (unique) ET which is blah blah" that's worth about nine out of ten for me.
And how about briefing on what you really think is going to happen? Doing command training going down to Faro on a sunny day and we can see 200 miles as we cross the Pyrenees and we know destination is CAVU and he gives the full briefing for the VOR approach. At the end I ask "What type of approach do you really think we will be doing?" "Ah yes a visual!" Ok so how about saying "Expecting a visual, this is how we expect to fly it - any doubts and we'll revert to the VOR approach as per the plate?"
But there again I'm old school now!
