ERJ blows tires on landing

The ERJ has an antiskid system. Unless the main brake systems fail and you have to pull the emergency brake to stop (bypassing the antiskid system), it's nearly impossible for the pilot to blow tires.

Can the 145 transfer hydraulic fluid using the parking brake like you can on the 170 series? I know there have been a couple of crews who landed with the parking brake set because they were trying to move fluid around for some reason and for got to release the brake.

Indeed you can. That's what a bunch of people thought happened to the Beagle ERJ that blew its tires in Nashville a few years ago, but if I remember correctly, the brake system went nuts and locked up the brakes, blowing all the tires.
 
The dash 8 can transfer fluid with the park brake too with a built in shuttle valve, You can't do it in the air though because the brakes are disabled when the WOW sensors don't sense that you are on the ground.... Well you can but you have to do bad things to do it... Unless a pilot side loads the crap out it on landing I don't see it happening.

I would have brought St. Ides, but there were n00bies at your pad that weren't familiar with my ironic humor. I tried to set a good example for the children of America.
 
A couple trips ago, we noticed the brake temps on one side were high while taxiing in at DEN. While doing the post-flight, a ramper told me they were smoking pretty good when we pulled in. I checked and they were still smoking a little bit. MX came out and ended up changing the control unit, accessed via a panel on the floor of the flight deck.
