JS, you're wrong. Clearly "Didn't".

The amount of misunderstanding among native speaking guys makes this an absolute case-study.

Imagine their faces, after having asked to dump - too heavy to land, one engine gone. Then this comes in:

"Speedbird 38P heavy, are you able to climb to 10 thousand feet - or not?"
"BAW38P heavy, yeah - now we can climb to 10 thousand feet it that helps you out, sir. And we're happy to downgrade the Mayday at the moment, 'cause you're obviously helping us out the best you can."
"I'm sorry 38P heavy, say again the last part?"
"You can, ... we don't ..., I'm guessing we've downgraded from our Mayday status. That's all, BAW38P."
"Downgrade a Mayday status?"
"Well, I am happy you're helping us out, so you know we have an issue. And we're ... we're obviously coming back in. Over"
