B737NG, thrust/pitch mode selection
When I first flew the NG, about a decade ago, the call was N1-bug 'up'. It was fairly natural and concise. Both crew were understood to be trained on the type, and it was a standard call.
N1 sequencing to the climb thrust ( or taking it out of take off thrust?)
Bug 'up' being to bug the flaps up speed. Now, we apparently need to say 'set flaps up speed' or some limited variation.
But I'm curious about this.
Old call
'N1-bug up'
Latest version
'N1-level change- set flaps up speed'
Is this really necessary to choose 'N1' and then immediately 'level change'? Or is there some factor that I have missed in the years away from the fleet? Or some event where the extra call is now mandated?

No doubt someone really clever is going to pick holes in both the question, and presentation of the problem, and all the answers that come hereafter. To you, I say, in advance, thank you for avoiding giving an answer while muddying the waters.
