Do you ever notice that most of the time we are still dispatched with T/O alternates anyways. Gives me alot of confidence in dispatch sometimes.
The reason they put a T/O alternate anyway is because most pilots will call back wanting one anyway. It just saves the need to call.
Makes sense. Just because we are single engine CAT III cetified doesnt mean I want to do it if I can avoid it.
