A320 Captain believes that some First Officers at his company are becoming complacent and are not complying with SOP when it comes to approach briefings.

Narrative

Prior to descent I asked the First Officer to inform me when he was ready for a briefing for the ILS; [but] when he informed me he was 'ready'; he had no approach plate out and didn't care. I asked him again and he informed me the frequency and identifier were located on the PFD. I asked him for a third time and he pulled out his publications binder and 'half' followed me through the approach and then put away his binder with an 'attitude'. Last month I had a similar incident on arrival when an First Officer informed me he didn't need to pull out any publications during my brief. After explaining company SOP he conformed and I had no further problems during the four day trip. In June; I had a similar experience prior to approach with an First Officer who would not pull out any publications during the entire flight. Is this a trend and are other Captains having these problems? I'm not back in the Air Force flying a single seat aircraft. This is a dangerous trend of First Officers deliberately being cocky; complacent; and arrogant. I strongly believe flight standards should issue a bulletin to Airbus pilots explaining the seriousness of this matter especially at airports they're familiar with.
