Yep! We had some overseas-trained so and so who said just use the yellow line to line up and take off. ATC probably loved him.

The first consideration raised by Frame comes from the OPT.
That last consideration comes from Boeing. This is an early 737 FTCM; I stand to be corrected if it has been removed:
So what's your "Oztronorts" point, BSS?
On "Immediate Departures", apart from the two radio calls in AIP COM, this term is not mentioned or explained anywhere. Of course, we can delay our roll by calling "Line Up XX seconds". The clear implication is that if we don't say that, then we won't be stopping. So why is "Immediate Departure" even mentioned? If there are ditherers or stoppers, then AIP should be edited to make it clearer about what is expected by ATC, or the company should be growled-at by the ATC wheels.
