Human Factors; Procedure
A company Brasilia was [cleared to] taxi into position and hold. SFO Tower Controller asked if we were ok with lining up on the runway behind company; I said 'NO!' Unequivocally 'NO!' I believe after the Tenerife disaster; placing two planes on an active runway simultaneously at the same time was made illegal and is prohibited by 7110.65. Next; this Controller said; 'After departure; fly heading 010; hold short zero one right;' which was somewhat counterintuitive and seemed prone to encourage a runway incursion. He repeated this instruction after we queried him. We had a check airman in the jumpseat who was giving us a line check; and he also got upset at what the Controller was doing; and stated; 'What he's doing is trying to give someone a runway incursion.' In any event; both events are bad practices; and should definitely be addressed! Cause; poor and possible Controller deviation. Improper phraseology and application of procedures specified in the 7110.65 for Tower operations.
SFO Air Carrier departure voiced concerning regarding ATC's procedure and phraseology reference a takeoff clearance.
