I never talk about an alternate and don’t say we might not get in. Only say something when you are actually going to land at your alternate. Flew with a captain once that said we have an alternate of XYZ when the ceiling was 1200 feet at our destination. The poor FA’s had to field questions about why we weren’t going to our destination for 3 hours.

This is exactly what happened on my flight 1100 OVC sand 4 Miles visibility and this guy said that we had an alternate if we can’t get in. Caused people to flip out for our 42 min flight, and the flight attendant was answering questions the entire time. Not cool.
