If you need to say something to someone, you don’t need to be a jerk, just say you’d like to be briefed. I guarantee you they’ll do it. We have great guys at JB, the loudest guys on the inter web are kitty cats to fly with.
Exactly. Not hard...
"You ready to brief?"
"I'm ready for your briefing."
"Go ahead."
"Hit me with it."
We hold each other to the standard. IRT an earlier post, I'm not at B6, and yes, my airline follows the Airbus rec of PM first on the brief in line with TEM. Now the PF cues it up, but the PM is trained and used to going at the beginning.
SOP and keep the rubber side down!
