Should I stay or should I go - Company Policy

Following recent events where fog in MEL has caused mayhem with inbound traffic;
Qantas link flights out of DPO & LST remained on the ground until the fog subsided,
Yet Virgin flight ex LST departed even after being Advised that the RVR at MEL was 200m. This Aircraft was then stuck in a Hold in excess of 30 mins before diverting to AD (further from its destination than it started).

So tell us PPruners
What is your company policy with regard to departing when the conditions at your destination are below the landing minima, and other aircraft are missing out.
