"It took about 50 minutes for the flight crew to complete all of the initial procedures associated with the ECAM messages"


Copied this from the AAIB's initial report into the engine failure at Singapore.
How much fuel does YOUR company expect YOU to arrive over destination with?

My jet has relatively little automation. I'm all for checklists, but if worst comes to worst (ie a fire that won't go out), then all I really need is gear down and I'm good to land on the nearest runway.
