I'm told I come under the catagory of an 'old crusty captain'. I've run late, had a newhire FO, and we ran the entire checklist. Only takes a few seconds and we both had the mental attitude that everything was accomplished albeit a bit rushed. I looked at it with the attitude that she had just finished training and was not entirely comfortable with the aircraft and procedures. Just made things easier. She had done a lot before I got there and briefed me as I was building my nest. As she was briefing me I did my flow & then into the checklists. First time we had met and it told me volumes about her abilities so I adjusted to that. For a newhire with her experience she had done a great job. Another time with an experienced FO he had done almost everything and we had flown together before and so shortened things a bit. Reality dictates what you would feel comfortable with.
As far as what they would want in a interview? Probably that you would want to do the whole thing. What would you do on line? Maybe not a good idea to say...
