I totally agree with you Radi. As a very regular flyer to/from BNE for work, the holding is verging on the ridiculous, especially now that the days are shorter (to open a can of worms, if we got daylight savings in QLD, it would help a lot in summer...!)
The challenge I see is that there won't be a parallel runway for close to 10 years and with all the resource traffic expected over the next 2-3 years, the airport simply won't cope (not all of the mining ports can take larger aircraft, so you are talking high frequency Q400/ATR72 services to meet demand).
