Thanks everyone for all your input so far.

Icarus2001, Re the more than ten in one year missed approaches, well I've noted 6 in the last two days so looks like CG will have perfect weather for the next 5 months.

Most held for 20+ minutes and made two to three approaches each, trying for both 32 and 14.

Have noted months ago the VB 737 red-eye from Perth making a missed approach and still having enough fuel for another crack and getting in after holding for a while. (Not bad)

Re the cost, sure it costs a ****load and I'm sure the decision makers will congratulate themselves as they nash their teeth together if they ever experience the joy of multiple missed approaches and bussing down to Cooly or arriving hours later.
