Further to my earlier post, you claim there was an extra 14 miles of needless tracking because of a diversion. If the 737 was inbound, there are no threshold taxiways at Hobart so the 737 would have needed to backtrack after landing so you would have had to be delayed or held somewhere. It is much easier to delay enroute than manage it in the terminal area. In Alice we needed 20 track miles between arriving jets for the same reason.
