We even had the FO "verify" because we have had guy's call them "off" and they weren't off. No biggie.

Things have turned 180 degrees over two issues.

1.) "Brakes set. Pressure normal." &
2.) Both pilots responding to the shutdown check(list).

For the record, I take none of the disparaging remarks against these or any other former NWA procedure as a slight. Fire away guys. I like it and I will admit that a lot of the stuff NWA did was in response to getting bitten in the butt previously. Since we are all going through changes, I think it's best to do things, even though they might seem to be overkill, to make sure we don't screw up. It's easy to do with the amount of changes coming our way. Be safe out there.
