Unhappy

Well I never intended this to degenerate into a mud slinging match

I have no axe to grind with the airline concerned.....was just bemused as to how a "Mayday" situation can clear itself so rapidly. In my experience, an engine failure (on anything with more than one engine!) results in a "Pan" call, followed by a landing ASAP.

I was also concerned that an engine failure on a multi-engined aircraft causing a "Mayday" call, implied that the aircraft cannot maintain flight on the other engine(s) and that is personally worrying as I fly in them fairly often!
