I certainly don't want to have to hang out for several hours after arrival in SYD to wait for VA to open their Int'l counter.
Yes,
Guy Betsy is former moderator on the SQ, and when he departed, there were people saying "thank God for that..." (

OLCI for second of the two separate PNRs is IMHO very risky. If you first is badly delayed/cancelled etc and you miss your second flight while already checked in, your chances of doing something about the delay (depending on flexibility/rules of the second ticket) are significantly smaller... Changing ticket/flight after check-in is always more difficult than before check-in...
