Forgive my ignorance here, but doesn't the fact they went back to POS, presumably with a fairly heavy aircraft, suggest it was quite a serious hydraulic problem? My simplistic amateur assumption would have been that it would be better to land an aircraft with a brake problem when it was light on fuel and at the maintenance base in MIA rather than POS?
