persay it should only be used after a divert has been started as your committed to the alternate airport. .
To reiterate, no "minimum fuel" calls whilst holding for the intended destination, with alternate fuel still on board. Correct?
Only once commited to the last landing airport possible (be that the original DEST, planned ALTN or simply any other diversion field), "minimum fuel" will be used when
possible further delays would result in arrival below FRSF.
