Yep, at VB we extend the flaps to takeoff setting as the first item of the after start scan, as soon as the last engine is started. At the end of that scan the recall is checked then the engineer is bade farewell.

The Eastern part of DJ does it a little different, setting the flap when the dispatch signal is received from the gingerbeer.

Perversely the difference is due to fear of banging a Powerpush, even though PB use them at only one small port and VB use them at 6 or more ports. Must be something someone brought from JetConnect.
