With the belated introduction of the area of responsibility idea from boeing we also changed to a silent cockpit philosophy. FMA changes are only called during LVP below 500ft RA (and then from the PM), other system commands (gear, flaps etc) won't be answered, just actioned. Only thing is altitude clearances, those have to be "checked" at all times by the pilot not dialing them in (during automatic flight the PM, during manual flight the PF).
