Well think about it...if your going to put a 200 hr Ab initio pilot in the right seat do you want him reading and verifying every checklist item, or let him do a flow, fire things up on the taxi, asking for the IFR clearance, and getting take off clearance 3 minutes later right at the end of the taxiway?
You guys hire marsh mellows: insecure, on probation, scared little robots and now you want them to think..
Sorry but if I have to sit there in row 15, peeking up at some kid in the right seat, you can sit there for 30 minutes while he runs through the checklist...
