I disagree, 411A. Losing 50% of thrust on take-off certainly merits a "(C/S)MAYDAY x 3, engine failure, wait out" if nothing else.... Why not? What is there to lose by declaring an emergency in this way? Far better than the bumbling "Ah, sir, we err, are..err requestin'...errr....vectors...err, for a....err, problem...errr...sir,..errr...as of this time....err, sir" heard from some.
But the rest of that emergency sounds to have been well handled.
