If you can't be bothered to understand the systems on the ONLY type plane you are being paid to fly hundreds of passengers per day, then you have no business in the front end of the jet.


So on the E145, HYD SYS 1 FAIL with a L ENG FIRE EICAS pops on short final going into LGA, or even Key West... what about at 31L at JFK, any difference?
Are you landing or going around?
What systems are or aren't going to be available to you?
Do you really have time to look up the stuff on your EFB like you said?
