This is the only reason I've ever used flaps 4 on approach, for the exact same reason.

Exactly. Even though I've also used all 9 available settings depending on the circumstances, we were taught that the normal flap sequence for landing is 1-5-15-30, and 40 if necessary. When you go F15, the yellow caution hook on the speed tape is set for F30 speed, skipping F25.

However, I've used it plenty of times for stall protect ice speeds when given a low speed on a heavy aircraft, and I use it when landing flaps full as a reminder so that I get a too low, flaps if we accidentally forget to go flaps full, preventing the possibility of landing flaps 5 when we have full numbers.
It's insane to me to have something on the plane we can't use.

That’s false, no? You should get too low, flaps...

Speaking of the chairs, seems most of the time when I sit down they're either on the floor or so high I have to tilt my head just to sit. Who are these vertically challenged and endowed people?

Sooo.....
At compass you were allowed to use flaps 4 on approach and your landing callout was "Flaps 5(full), set Vapp, landing checklist?
If so, republic does not allow flaps 4 as an intermediate setting on approach as there are no approach warnings as it's strictly a takeoff setting.
And we recently adopted this stupid "Flaps X, Set Vapp, landing checklist". There has also been a few other things over the last year that we have changed that you guys were already using.
