Captain lines aircraft up, states current aircraft heading. FO verifies the correct runway heading with the airport diagram, states "runway ___ verified."
On runway, completely disregarding the sings, lights, and runway markings, scale the PFD to the lowest scale and try to verify the correct runway with all of the other superfulous info on the screen with "runway xx verified".
and someone in the future is now going to forget to arm the ignition because they are so busy checking and calling out runway numbers. Then an airplane is going to take a couple birds, dual flame out no relight and it crashes. We will then in the future have a "RW confirmed, ignition on, etc, etc, etc." while lined up waiting to push the power up. The cleared for immediate take off will be a thing of the past.
