Call-outs are different at different airlines. Each airline has their own "taylored" flight manual and training program approved by the aviation authorities.

For example, my airline doesn't say "One to Go," or "A Thousand To Go," but "Flight Level three-six zero for Flight Level three seven zero," etc....

We don't say: "Postive Rate, Gear Up," but "Positive Climb, Gear Up."

We call out: "Two Hundred Above Minimums, One Hundred Above Minimums, Minimums..." in IMC conditions. But in VFR conditions we don't make those call outs."

We always call out: "Out Of 10,000 Feet AGL." Some carriers make that call out of 10,000 Feet MSL.

Some airlines call "power levers" "thrust levers."

Some airlines set altimeters to QFE, some set them to QNH.

Different airline cultures, different phraseologies.
