I can see their logic but you gotta love Sydney to Melbourne, via Brisbane. I thought planes these days only carried enough fuel for the trip, factoring weather, diversions etc due to the cost of fuel and i thought making the plane lighter on take-off reducing wear and tear on the engines etc? But with this flight would they not have been planning to re-fuel in Melbourne and had enough from Syd to fly from Syd-Mel-Bris?
