noflynomore,
I would rather someone transmit a Mayday on my behalf if a situation is developing that I am not aware of, then sit back with popcorn in hand, watching the show. While I know this is akin to "stepping on ones toes," I'd prefer to have a laugh over the situation over a beer than be trapped in metal tube that is on fire wondering why everyone is not doing anything.
Mayday gets everyones attention, including mine.
