Nah we don't have to do that. Usually set speed 200, call flap 1. This is my first 121 job, but coming from the 135 world and having friends at other regionals. It seems that here the calls here are built to be short and direct. Not any calls I can think of that are checks besides 1000ft and 200ft calls.
