All engine GA = stress/no stress? Guys say we do Takeoffs everyday; what's the difference, and you are further away from the ground? B737. Considering stress; why do some operators use a procedure different to a normal takeoff. IMHO that has the possibility of inducing stress by being unfamiliar with it. It is not part of an LPC and so not practice much. It was no big deal on earlier Boeings; it as the same as a takeoff. Now the B737 designers introduced the flap lever controlling the speed bug. Who ever thought that was better than the MCP window as per B757/767? There are operators who want you to start retracting flaps at 400'. That too is different. What's the rush? There is no need. There are operators who want you to fly the whole procedure manually, yet every takeoff is with A/P at 1000'. Why make a dodgy scenario more so? Daft IMHO. KISS.
