Ah, but from what I was taught during upgrade, UOE and my Line Check, the company is wanting us to start #2 on the push back and taxi out that way every time (unless a 2-engine taxi is required). They're discouraging guys from waiting to start #1, just crank 2 and as soon as the towbar is off, away you go.

By the way, I was taught that PACK is Pneumatic Air Conditioning Kit.
