There was no legal requirement to hold an alternate as the weather was fine etc
Where? What third world country has no requirement for an alternate? We carry/have two+ of everything in case of failure - engines, electrics, hydraulics, and
airports
Oh, yeah, that's right, the only third world country to not carry an alternate is Australia. Silly me. Those crazy guys would rather carry 60 minutes for weather rather than 20-40 minutes for an alternate.
And I remember being told how Australia invented aviation. Those Aussies should get out there and tell all those first world countries with their reliable airport lighting, Cat III approaches and great ATC how they're doing it wrong.
