We still don't quite speak the same language.
On the 320, the after start checklist can't be done until pushback is complete is the one I don't get. It's not "before taxi" anymore! So we sit there and pick our noses burning gas waiting for the waveoff that isn't on checklist anymore...
At least we don't have a super long callout at 80 knots anymore (remember "engine instruments checked"?) and don't call out every nuance of the FMA on CAT II/III...
See, I look at both sides of the coin.
