A few years back darwin was good, then they had to go and get rid of the guys/girls that new what they were doing and get some more trainees in

Singapore has been very good, very busy but very organised, even vectored us around sells.

perth are terrible, it is amazing the way they can give you 20min holding for traffic, when no traffic holding is required and you have come from the other side of the continent with 100+kt headwinds.

however Noumea takes the cake when they put us in a holding pattern for 20min, so they could get an aircalin flight ahead that had been 10 min behind us the entire way across, The Fact we were MED1 meant nothing, but the real annoying part was that it was a clear day and they wouldnt let us leave the pattern till after the aircalin plane had left the runway. It was CAVOK too, so we even offered to track direct to the field at max spead.

Home nation advantage.
