This is normal for MCY.VA do not service it well so often I have to use JQ just because they have much more convenient times.
Though on your chart they do have JQ790 arriving twice-maybe a touch and go for the first arrival?

Totally agree about VA service ( or lack thereof )
I quite often travel OOL or BNE to SYD in the one day. If I am meeting someone for lunch in SYD and travelling from MCY I have to leave the day before and return the day after.
JQ offer a far better service in this regard.
