I think we needed a new checklist. The old one was fine for when we didn't mess with the flaps so much.
I am glad we eliminated the cruise check; so unnecessary. But, like I said, the arrival check is just wrong. If we run the checklist as written, we are going to be tossing the lights and the seatbelt sign on at 18K. Hell, the lights may even still be on because we forgot to turn them off because of the nonexistent 10K check.
In a way I like the runway change check, but at the same time why do we even need it. If we are relied upon to use "good airmanship" to accomplish the tasks of the now defunct 10K and cruise checks, why do we need a guide to take care of a runway change?
