Triggers work just fine.

Xray,
If you look back 1000 pages or so, you will see that I was one of those who was up in arms about the flap non-call. I have since quieted down because as tsquare said I would, I got used (??) to it. But, every point Carl and Ferd are making still hold true and they seem to be making them in a professional, non-flaming manner.
For the record, I still think it's better to be accustomed to "hearing" and "seeing" triggers. Especially, for the flaps. I still get an uneasy feeling every time I takeoff from 3L in DTW. No one is perfect and the more safeguards we have, IMO, the better. No sour grapes. No whining. It looks like they are just trying to keep it real. Real safe ya know.
