More airlines and operators need to move to eliminating memory items. The more you have the more chance you have at screwing it up.
I agree 100%. However with the trim runway if it goes full nose up you're dead. (This is what I've heard from people who've done it in the sim. I don't know if that's true, and obviously the sim is not the airplane.)
