Hi everyone I hope I could be useful. I heard that af454 had a fire alarm alert so pilots decided to come back to LFPG. I don't know if it is the true reason of the 7700 but it seems possible to me.

Cargo fire alarm. Turned out it was a false one, but I guess itīs one of the more stressful situations you can get.
And you CAN have a sq7700 for a medical situation:
Distress: A condition of being threatened by grave and/or imminent danger and requiring immediate assistance

I would rather sit in my CP's office explaining why I declared an emergency for a situation that turned out to be a non-event than sit in that very same office trying to explain under what medical training I had determined my passenger would be fine while the media has our colours all over the place with stories of a dead passenger.
I've never understood why some pilots (and passengers) feel that declaring an emergency or asking for priority through the internationally accepted means is tantamount to incompetence, or at the very least severe overkill.

Because they are Skygods. 
To be fair to some, they may have extremely difficult management who would make their life hell if it turned out to be a non event.
