Trust PPRuNe to get so excited over minutia such as phraseology which isn't standard where that crew come from during one of the more critical experiences the guys will face in their careers. They were also slightly rushed into the R/T by the transfer to radar pretty much at the moment the thing blew an engine.
They've had an engine fail at a critical phase of flight (and not your standard simulator V1 cut at that) and as far as I can see externally have flown the aircraft well (cue someone pointing out the slight downwind drift
) and made the appropriate decision to return expeditiously - they got the exact same response and service they've have got if they said the standard Mayday x 3 call.
Good job to them I say.
Especially given it's Delta, so probably all done with quite the hangover.
