Interesting, with THOUSANDS of B-737's out there, and they put a flap selection that you can't use. I'm also getting tired of the "cubby hole" for our luggage in the cockpit. Haven't the Boeing engineers figured out that we actually OVERNIGHT in the damn thing yet and NEED SPACE for our luggage?
Hmmm...strange, never happened to me and I didn't hear it was a major issue.
