Thank you for your sermon Machbird.(I also have no Boeing or Airbus time)
I'm not the one saying you are screwed if you loose the hydraulics.
Plenty of people above flying the aircraft said so, that you can kiss your ass good bye.
My comment was that if that is the situation, then knowing that you have no manual back-up or not won't change much, and to the comments that you do not know that you should not be flying and you probably do not know much about the aircraft.
I believe all, or at least most, pilot will try all to save themselves, the aircraft and in the process the passengers.
