I suppose it's what we've "grown up" with professionally, I know we're regarded as a bit different here down south. Multiple turboprop operators and 2 x 737 operators in this part of the world, all operated the same, and forgetting the QNH at transition never happened, it's a totally standard procedure. And in the 737 you'll get a nice amber flag if you're a few seconds late with it. And this operating into some very terrain rich environment (e.g. Queenstown).
