I have quirks that may come out, just let me know what bothers you and I'll try to fix it. My only request, is not to rush me doing Taxi Checks, 2nd Engine starts, B4 takeoff checks if we know before hand we are going to get a short taxi. I'd rather keep my head out of the cockpit so we don't hit anything.

When asked if he had anything to add to the crew briefing, this person then followed it up with a FA briefing that was short and sweet.
"The only thing I want to mention is that you don't say or discuss anything about drinking, parties, crazy behavior, or feeling tired and hungover, while on the Van Rides to and from the airport and anywhere in the airport especially if we have to walk through a TSA security line."
Hopefully, the Capt runs a standardized operation. Sure is unsafe to make F/O's model like clay to each Capt that thinks they can disregard the AOM etc.
Hated flying at places where Capt mentality is "My way or highway" Most junior F/O's only know the AOM procedures. Impatient Capts were always a pain.
