Keg, fair cop, and a fairly typle defence.

Recencely overhauled by Q A330 Per- Syd, no biggy, followed said A/C, accross thye continent via Nowra due Thunderstorms to Syd. A-330 positions it's self due to flow and Wx on 34lL; wx does'nt work out, positioned to 34R; Wx doesn't work manourveas to change of rwy 16R.
In the mean time we beceame visual on 34L/16R and requested a right turn, downwind on 16R . due to the severe thunderstorm activity and WX. Qantas, A330 major concern at this point in time, was if the VB 737 was going to LAND!!!!! before it did as it perceved that it was NUMBER ONE.Severe Wx and Lightning, mutiple runway changes and where is the priority

For the record, it is posibale to depart PERTH in front of an A- 330,travel at ECON and with a little intuition and situational awairenese arrive at the gate first.

That would be a left turn on to downwind Rwy 16 R
