I don't work there but..... is there anything wrong with doing the after start to the line and moving away from the gate (at least 10 feet) to complete ffod checks and the after start below the line?

To the line seems to be fine but then when do you finish below the line? Short of pulling off to the side or holding short it seems much more convenient to just do the whole thing at once. I can foresee people forgetting to do it or being in a huge rush and missing certain steps.

I see it as "above the line" is must-do items before movement (Ext power removed, transponder set, hydraulic panel check for steering, cabin ready for taxi, emerg lights armed). I guess the rest is stuff that can be done after, especially after FFOD checks (can't set CTOT, autocoarsen, and ice protection until after checks are complete)... during the winter, we made sure to do "above the line" then leave the gate to do checks only so the rampers could go inside and warm up
