Better have a re-read of AIP, Iccy, in particular ENR 1.1 60.6.1. The word "shall" being the operative one.
So if they did not get to the point of giving a "minmum fuel" call as per 60.5.1then it naturally follows that they would not feel the need to give a mayday call as per 60.6.1. So those above asking for reasons for why there was no mayday call, perhaps they were happy they would land with FR intact.
Bloggs, have you even seen a good lawyer thrash out the legal meaning of "shall" versus "must" versus "will"? I can tell you that it is very entertaining and informative.
