And by 'all', you mean "h:mm" and "good to get up/stay seated"?

And then they reply "can you do it in hh:mm minus 1? " and you reply with a thumbs up.

I don't see Cbreezys post as a flex. I
almost never look at M+ until I'm in the cockpit. It's just never occurred to me to do it any earlier.

I find supplementing the stay seated brief to the A with a FF message which automatically reaches all FAs, is highly effective.

I try to keep my brief under 30 secs and absolutely not more than 1 min

have to? 1 maybe 2 minutes max. But some people just can’t keep a brief, ya know, brief. Our briefing guide goes over a bunch of stuff that should be considered just part of our job, and some people feel like that means they need to brief it.

Semi related we also are required to brief aborts and go arounds every crew pairing. And aborts are not standard and up to the CA on who does what. That was absolutely bonkers to learn when I got here.

No. I said I brief them via Flight Family. And the purser face-to-face. They all have access to FF so it's more efficient. Is there a better way to brief 9+ FA's on the ride/flight time so they have access to it 2-3 hours later?

I've always had positive feedback.
