The order of doing things while flying…

Arranging a reroute with ATC, explaining everything, adjusting the autopilot for the new route etc. Assessment time on what to do. Those in the back don’t need to know anything until those decisions are made and executed. It’s not like there’s a negotiation to be had!

Did my comment give you the impression I didn't understand that? But I don't think it's enough of an explanation.

Do you think they turned around before most of those things?

Do you think there were no gaps where they could have communicated?

I wonder if they actually were following "Aviate, Navigate." end of checklist.

“Communicate” means communication with air traffic control

They did that.

Communication with the passengers is good, of course, but optional, if they have time

They aren't going to talk to the passengers in a gap unless there's a major need (like Sullenberger saying "This is the captain, brace for impact". He had already committed to the Hudson long before he said that. And note that that's the minimum communication that conveys the message, he didn't spend one second on that he didn't have to.)
