Having flown Airbus for most of my career, and recently transitioned to the 777, I find the Boeing mentality is much more a "you don't need to know that," or "don't worry about it." Right to the point it turns out that they don't even want you to know the existence of systems in the aircraft. I was chastised for bringing the ENG page up on the EICAS in cruise. Was told that if Boeing wanted us to look at it, they would have done so themselves. But then over the years we have had 3 aircraft divert to sub-optimal places due to oil leaks that could have been detected in a much more timely way had the crews done this. I understand what the posters above are saying but at the end of the day, we are paid to think and I like both the situational awareness and the thought that went in to your decision.
