@flyhardmo @joprato thanks for the reply, I agree with you guys, when in an critical situation all rules and regulations are out of the window, however, what I meant was is it legal for it to be planned and filed as an en-route alternate when the crew are not properly trained. The training is not just for the company, it's actually written in a CAAC's AC that requires pilots to take the special training and even has restrictions on who can be the PIC and more. Any more thoughts that can help?
