Or does the scenario assume everything was OK when you left, then the weather gets worse and stuff starts to break in route, and you decide to "press on" to the destination?
Dispatch to an airport below mins AND no alternate fuel.... no airline would do that because IT'S ILLEGAL!! And you're right, no profesional (smart) pilot would except that release. However, it's called scenario based traning and to see you under pressure.
Icing is real world,
Mechanical deferals (MEL's) are real world,
And equipment breaking is real world,
Welcome to the airlines.
