It has that neat little thingy up in the corner that displays your flight number.
Game changer!

That's a government plot to get us to single engine taxi.
Seriously though. Start two... start your taxi, then immediately start one.
There ya go. Saved you 5 minutes.

It amazes me how slow people are starting the engines. Ince the start valve closes i start 2. That way by the time the #1 has rolled back the #2 is done motoring.
I do this on the NGs also.
I think SET on the max should be done almost all the time time permitting. The idle thrust is so great you have to drag the brakes with two engines anyways.

I’ve done that on the NG when the Captain is cool enough to permit it, but didn’t we get like a dozen RBFs saying not to do it on the MAX? Something about it presenting as a start malfunction and causing an inadvertent shutdown?
