At least that won't be a problem for us, "Takeoff Config OK" includes both engines running as a criteria for posting the advisory message.
The MD-88 takeoff config warning does not include that. It presupposes that the pilot has verified both engines are running and you'd like to check all of the other system configurations.

Amen !!!
I am so tired of these guys with 3 years total experience telling me that I have an attitude or am unprofessional because I choose to be a realist with a new MGR decides his new and improved is actually tried & failed but they where not around to see it. I don’t need to wear a hat or make gate announcements to show I care about my profession. I would much rather have a crusty person around when it gets difficult yet some shiny oh the Co told me this flying we me anytime

NO it does NOT. just had this conversation with a check airman. Of course among themselves they also disagree. But "set" vs "SET" means set for the situation. Bleeds "set" does not mean bleeds on or off. Parking brake "set" does not mean parking brake "ON' or "OFF". Parking SET on the other hand would mean "ON"
Here's something more clear, from another airline:
—Parking Brake . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . As Required
NOTE: Engine No. 2 may be started while taxiing

I do remember reading a safety report about a CR2 crew taking the runway with one engine still off. Didn't power up for takeoff, but realized it was off as they got onto the runway.

Gotta love the controller. "Well, that's an exiting aircraft, so don't hit him, and continue to your gate." LOL
and of course the Delta pilot gave a typical Capt' Happy response And big bad boy also wants a phone number!
"Lighten up Francis!"
"Wish you RJ guys would be a little more professional."

Having said that on the 900 there is absolutely no difference between starting an engine with the APU while taxiing and starting the engine via a cross bleed. The Captain focuses on taxiing FO starts the engine.
I know for a very very short period a cross bleed start was preferred. However, too many pilots were forgetting to bump the thrust on the operating engine to 67+% N2 but instead starting the engine at flight idle. The engine trends were coming back with higher than normal temps 700deg+ on the starts.

The RJ guys are a little professional, it is a little plane.
