briefer insists on zulu time?

[timwinters]

Just to add a data point, I've had briefers give my read-back and weather forecasts in local time after I gave them my departure time in zulu... Not that I really mind one way or the other.

That would really mess with my head.

Fortunately I only use them for last minute local flights when I just want/need to go poke holes in the sky.

I had one other "Zulu-purist" in the past, and it was at the wrong time, because I was trying to put a flight together quickly, had family pressures (unrelated to the flight) and members trying to talk to me during my briefing, and this guy keeps insisting I add five to whatever number I give him (while I've got other numbers going through my head). At the end he chastised me for doing the briefing while such distractions were present. I gritted my teeth and apologized.

Rightly so.

Rightly so.
