Narrative:

I was flying with a new captain. He was taxiing for departure and the before takeoff checklist was not complete when the tower cleared him for takeoff on runway 36L (clt) with a landing aircraft on a 2 1/2 mi right base to runway 36L. He decided there was enough time to continue the before takeoff checklist and decided not to take off, but slightly exceeded the hold short line.
