DR
It happened between two small Countries in the Americas.
The mentioned option to depart putting the alternate as destination and departure as alternate was one of the solutions considered but it also had some PAX impact. At the end we got a release to go, WX did not change and we just headed to the alternate.
This all prompted my Q. to know if in other parts of the world the two airports involved had the right to do the same.
By the way, not that I am really complaining!
Of course I have started to contact the two ATC's involved just to know their point of view.
How do you all interpret JonG's first feed back post to all this topic?
Great to be in contact with you ATC guys!! Believe its my first post here... Very seldom fly to Europe, you all do a grat job!!
