Most people on here, and elsewhere, put this down as a Human Factors incident. It's nothing at all to do with procedures - regardless of how your airline operates, FO's taxying, starting engines, or not. Hey, if that's how you want to operate, knock yourself out!
And, can we put the intersection business to bed too? Either it can be done, or can't, just as reduced thrust take offs can be done, and flights taking off without their fuel tanks full.
Jeez, is anyone else bored of this bloke?
