Boeing's new procedures are in my opinion a disaster waiting to happen.
My airline simply refuses to uses them for this reason.

some examples:
*On pushback, one arms the auto-throttle. It only takes one distracted crewmember or a "slip of the finger" to push the TOGA buttons on the throttle quadrant and voilą! engineer sucked in engine or aircraft into terminal,...

*Instead of "Speed 22O", one now should say: " Set FLAPS UP speed". Well, NEVER say FLAPS UP untill you want them UP at that point. It only takes one inexperienced pilot to raise the flaps completely when ordered to increase the speed.
Very bad Boeing. These new procedures are rubbish and are a result of not thinking.
