Thumbs down

BelArg....just a thought. I agree with the Flaps and Trim calls. Why the spoilers?? When, IF EVER in gods name do you ever extend the spoilers before takeoff?? During taxi...???!!! In the same spirit somebody decides to add gear down and locked in a fixed gear SE acrt and u call it rubbish....??!!?....
So why dont we include in the "holy trinity" the words 'Trim,flaps,spoilers and all engines running'. Cause a failure on that part would also result in a whole lotta twisted metal!! Jeeeese. Gimme a break!
The "Holy Trinity" IMHO should be a loud announcement by the PM or PNF or CM2(whatever u wish to call him)......." TAKEOFF--CHECKLIST--COMPLETE ".
With an eyeball confirmation by both pilots.
As instructed to me by Messrs Boeing......
