That sounds like a training ad standards deficiency if true.
Editted to add clarity......my response was re "retools" noting what he had been told by ERA Pilots during the flight test program.....and is not directed towards the Crew that encountered the inflight problems.
Training and Sim Courses cannot replicate or identify every possible malfunction or emergency that might be encountered but I would think ECL's might have a role to play in certain situations and when I saw the word. "never"....it made me wonder why the Pilots at said that.
