Reference the other thread going on right now on aversion to pitch mode...to give you the gyst though, some people like using each of the modes.

Like the other guy said though, we have our XR profile and our "everything else" profile. I'm not really sure how much of that is based on fitting into the airspace system at our hubs vs. economy, but that's what they say to fly at least.

Someone else called the climb in the XR in the 30s the "death climb"...the extra few knots make it a lot more comfortable for me at least...
