BiZJet,
Sometimes, but not always. In a leaky hull I too recognised the fault before 1000'. But in our Airbus ops, all take-offs are done PACKS OFF. And you can't tell (apart from a bleating ECAM).
The point is "read and do" is so very wrong in the Boeing philosophy. It always surprised me that they do it this way, since Boeing always consider the FO a fool.
The only way round it to make it a personal discipline to follow the other guy while he is reading and doing, and make sure you don't see what you expect to see (I saw this the other day: Flaps? "5, 5 Green Light", when there was an amber light).
