The NTSB official finding was that American Airlines' Advanced Aircraft Maneuvering Program was a contributing factor. The "Children of the Magenta" guy was also involved in the Advanced Aircraft Maneuvering Program.

At UAL today the before push is just Fuel Doors Seatbelts. Pretty quick. Everything else is on the first one. Still split cockpit also.

Or do you have to actually brief the departure as you read the item on the checklist?

Without getting into a checklist ****ing contest. There are 2 checklists at my airline. One is involved and take some time and should be done well ahead of push. The other has three items making sure you are safe to release the parking brakes and go. They are separate for good reason.
Starting engines is on captain’s command and requires no checklist.

Tool of the day:
The FA who spends all day talking about how customers just need to suck it up and deal with the fact that we're 30+ minutes late but then throws a hissy-fit when the hotel van is 5 minutes late.
Also me for complaining about a guy blinding us with his strobes taking the runway and subsequently forgetting to turn ours off after crossing a runway.
