My technique exactly

Airplane starts rumbling due to excessive amount of flaps.
I'm a huge proponent of getting the nose down with flaps 15 on the 777 when tooling around at 3000 feet in New Jersey at 180 knots, but if I'm in a constant descent at 220 I really don't see a need to go to flaps 5. Thats the kind of silliness some jokers just don't get. In general I agree that flying around in a high nose up attitude is unpleasant for me, but if it's within limits and a conscious choice then it's technique and putting your hand on the flap handle to express your opinion on that technique is REALLY bad CLR. If you prefer nose down then say something verbally. but remember it's TECHNIQUE.
