On the -88/90 you will generally use flaps and slats for drag so descending at 280 and you need to get down, you'll call for 'slats extend'. On the 75/76, you generally only call for flaps as you decelerate through the maneuvering speeds. |

But sometimes they don't work so you need to have the SA to deploy them. |
As usual, Mr. Taylor hits all the info you need to know.
As for the ERJ crew....well, we all make mistakes.
