Trip verification means you know you have a trip and you checked in for the thing. You are an adult so you know you have a responsibility to be there.
I'll show up, check my v-file, make sure iPad is updated, check pilot bulletins and then check paperwork/weather in E-Sign & Fly. After that I'll proceed to get the required body fuel (i.e. coffee) and get to the airplane. If the captain hasn't shown up by 30 minutes to go, I'll make a call to operations.
