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.
And now you get to develop your own technique for all those new copilots that don't know anything or how to fly big planes. Congrats and have fun with it.
