True, you're right. Like I said, it's PIC's discretion to do so. And 99.999999% of PIC's do exercise that discretion. It's been rare that I've had a C give the entire spiel EVERY time. As I mentioned, the take off brief will cover the things particular to that flight, when finished, the usual follow up is "emergencies as previous briefed, any questions?"
