Airbus - Oeb Reminder Function

[nnc0]

For those airlines that do use the OEB reminder function, how have you found it logistically - easy to manage?

For those that do not use the function, ie (stick with the QRH), how do you avoid crews following the ECAM blindly and completely forgetting about the applicable OEB?

Before 'Read Status', consider Oeb, Resets and Expanded Checklist (Acronym ORX) seems to do the trick.

Actually, there's one current OEB that can't be actioned that way because if you do the initial ECAM actions first, there's a strong possibility of losing both air bleed systems. The OEB is called "Dual Bleed Loss", which is a misleading title which has led a few pilots to think they need to use it if they have a dual bleed loss. It should be called "Prevention of Dual Bleed Loss" because if you don't apply the OEB at the first signs of trouble, following the ECAM will cause the dual bleed loss.

The reminder function is a great tool and I'm befuddled that it's not a standard upgrade across the board. We're trying to get it done on our fleet.
