Don't typically find a lot of need for flaps on the ol' 172 on TO.

Very true, but you also don't find many of "the ol' 172s" departing LAX for
JFK, either. The context of the OP was clearly a transport aircraft, and
that's the context I kept in my response. I apologize to any light plane
pilots who may have felt demeaned or left out by the construction of my
reply. In future, I suggest you check context, and don't read anything not
pertaining to light aircraft, thus avoiding these horrible feelings.
Sheesh.
