I taught that to all my students, maybe a carryover from maritime radio ops where that was a standard call, I never saw a reason to hem and haw like "We may have a minor problem here, maybe send a shuttle bus out to the highway to get the passengers, might be a bit of bother". Mayday gets you priority with no ambiguity.
