Haven't we seen similar statements in some of the threads around here??
I have been told by pilot friends there is "secret" ATC phraseology to indicate a 7500 situation when it is impossible to squawk 7500 (such as, the hijackers tell you not to squawk 7500 ;-) ) I would imagine companies have their own internal phraseology for over-the-radio or ACARS usage to either confirm or deny what's going on in the cockpit.
