Nothing like being compliant :-)
The 'Alternate Always' policy is not a be all and end all, and to think it is, is foolish. There are certain carriers - Majors - who use the policy and then plan, for example, WSAP for WSSS, VMMC for VHHH, KEWR for KJFK, EGKK for EGLL when the Destination has TS but the Alternate doesn't. Legal yes, but also stupid & illogical.
