If you can't remember to start your engines and can't figure it out prior to taking the runway then maybe you are in the wrong line of work.
It's called Airline Management!
At least in the CRJ2, with one engine still shut, you should have 3 msgs. 1 master warning for OIL PRESS, and 2 cautions for fuel pump and fuel low press. And you shouldn't have a "TO CONFIG OK" advisory message. If all that STILL doesn't catch your attention, then there is something seriously wrong with you. Fatigue, incompetence, complacent, etc.
Per checklist (and common sense really) you're supposed to check the engine parameters on the EICAS. Oil temp, before taking the runway is a big issue on the ERJ and/or Trans States and always a favorite oral question. Parameters not being in the green are boxed red. Those two pilots in question are management and senior pilot/check airman/former management so I don't buy fatigue. It'll be really interesting to get a copy of that CVR recording. Knowing both Trans States and STL FSDO that has been made unavailable*.
* yes, it's illegal to use the CVR, but that doesn't mean Trans States or the FAA doesn't listen to it when they want to.
