Used to work for Qantas. Lots of airlines pay pilots a bonus for carrying less fuel, some airlines carry absolute minimum they can get away with. Not including Qantas in this they err on the safe side everytime. Perth had heavy fog friday night and doesn't have the proper facilities to allow aircraft to land in fog. Virgin also had problems and had flight return to Melbourne when only a half hour from landing in Perth
