That seems to suggest that QF never carried alternate fuel, even if it was legally required. It’s not still the case, and never was. An alternate won’t be automatically carried as a matter of course, but it certainly will if the forecast requires it, or the dispatchers think it’d be a good idea, or the captain wants it.
