Oh dear...... this is the problem in Australia. We are too worried about the words and covering ar$e rather than looking out the window and flying the plane.
And that's my point, of course you can put the tray table away any time sooner (even if the Fringlish guidelines in the QRH only say 'stow' not 'stowed') but it's exactly this sort of thing that people get bent out of shape for while not understanding how to enmesh the details of FCOM procedures and sound airmanship.
Compressor Stall,
Of course you can't do the before takeoff checklist 'below the line' at the gate but if my employer elects to discuss with the manufacturer 'no technical objections' to me this makes a lot of sense.
Things have thankfully, come a long way in Australia in the last 10 years largely because of the learnings of the incident you speak of and others. It was a bloody close call, to assume that nothing has changed is pretty biased against Jetstar.
