Your Takeoff brief must be fun.
Come on man please stop those assumptions cause you are totally wrong.
Briefing? Are you joking? Unless my colleague wants one or there is a specific procedure/threat I don’t brief.
It’s a standard call out by Airbus. I’m just curious why they skip it. Why not skipping “Runway” also? The A/THR status is more important IMHO.
And you will be surprised but it happens than a set of crew rejected a take off because the FMA was missing “A/THR blue”.
They rejected the Take off first time due to a small issue then on the second attempt they were unaware that after a rejected take off you can not recover the A/THR until Airborne. So they rejected the take off a second time thinking they did something wrong. And both crew were very respectful pilots. So I guess that’s could be a reason they skip that call out since anyway A/THR is not mandatory.
