It was typical of CX, the 747 has two rudders so "rudders" seemed normal but if you then converted to the bus you were quickly picked up on it, vv when returning to the 74.
I happened to be in the Airbus office when they were discussing 'flap' & 'flap
s'
The deciding factor was to look at a photo of the Airbus cockpit hanging on the wall and see it said flaps, therefore it was 'flaps' which became company standard, (Boeing says flap), typical micromanagement with no common sense behind their decisions.
At least its slowly changing, however there are still guys enforcing crap that has been dropped.
It'll all change back, it always does.
"positive rate" I think this'll be the 4th time it's changed.
