Not Sydney-based crew who would have been operating on those flights. They are working on them for the first time and even though everyone is endorsed on them in theory, there is still a short familiarisation required onboard which may have run a little over time.
Melbourne crew are very familiar with the A321 now and "know the ropes".
And the U/S PDA you mentioned in the last post is not related to the new aircraft, it is a separate device carried onboard by the flight crew which is used for load calculations and referencing other flight info, etc.
Just to clarify.
