traditionalist professionals who quote the Aviate, Navigate Communicate philosophy
I do not want to clutter up this thread with an off-topic debate about the supposed pros/cons of a button push mayday.
What I do want to say, however is there is nothing "traditionalist" about the ANC philosophy. I hope that the majority of pilots on PPrune would agree with me here !
It is a very important philosophy, there are multitude of excellent reasons why it is taught to pretty much all student pilots. Correct and professional prioritisation is critical in a flight deck environment, irrespective of whether you are flying a SEP or Jet and irrespective of whether you're flying as single PIC or MCC ops (with appropriate MCC considerations about flight deck level communication of course e.g. DODAR and NITS, or however else you want to put it !).
