"When turning onto the runway centerline prior to takeoff - advance the thrust levers to 40% when you're at 45 degrees to the centerline. By the time you're lined up, the engines will be spooled and you can then hit TOGA."

Did you guys read this quote??^^^

40% in the 73 isn't going to send you into the grass at any time except nil brakes- but it does get most of the windup done with minimal rolling performance degradation-
What I don't advocate for is the dilly dallying we all see from the paid by the minute guys-
No- we aren't solely paid by the minute, but i get that. just dont go getting all conspiracy theorist when atch lets us get on out of there ahead of you if your rep tells them the chances are good you might be on the runway a bit- How about using your judgement and ability to get the job done safe and save the slow for making a point

Don't get all in a hussy pretending something's unsafe just bc you guys are padding your check-
Delta vid above = unsafe. Spooling up a bit for your weight so you reduce your time on the runway is jet flying 101
