Not quite sure it was a nice one DB?:

No 'hopefully' about it in my experience, I could even just mention to my crew that there will be a F PUMP AFT caution appearing in the next few minutes, which is perfectly normal when approaching about 140-150 kgs ish total, forward flight at 120 kts.

My F PUMP indications appear at the top of the middle of 3 columns, PITOT cautions?? - they would appear to each side if on? 1st or 3 rd columns. Not Below?? Unless you are talking about the GREEN Pitot Advisory Caution? I'll let you off with a simple brain fart after a long night duty - like I had when trying to remember how I ended up switching off both my transfer pumps 5 years ago (and I will admit that the process of how I did it is even more scary now).

I'm still not worried in forward flight at roughly 150 kgs when my F PUMP AFT caution comes on as I know my Fwd Fuel pump is working, as designed, unless I forgot to switch it back on of course. But then my FUEL caution would flash and remind me.

The fuel system definitely could be a better system. As someone said before, I want a caution appearing on my CAD when something is actually broken, or I want a flashing caution telling me I should switch something back on if it should be pumping fuel, but preferably I would now like an auto system.
