Something going on here, was diverted to Brisbane, landed and took off for Sydney, not circling at 30K ft at 435knots. Odd I think.

not circling at 30K ft at 435knots
So what was he circling at?
Firstly the obvious:----
It's QANTAS.

So the crew looked at the weather, looked at holding delays, looked at their Fuel state and made a "Command decision". Oooh shock horror....:ooh:
Move on mate, really.
