No. It's only used as a distress call or call for help.

AFAIK mayday is an anglicized version of the French m'aidez (help me) or m'aider (to render help to me).
hope this helps.:-D

"Mayday" is a call for emergency help. Extreme emergency with need of immediate help is indicated by this single word.
