QRC is still in use at UAL. There are a couple memory items still present that you do even before reference to the QRC, things like "Oxygen mask on 100%, crew communication establish" for a rapid d. Other than that it's all on the QRC, which is kept on the back side of the regular checklist in a holder on the glareshield.
I believe that research has shown that less mistakes are made when using a QRC versus straight memory items. I like it.
