EZY pilots and different behaviours across bases
Hi everybody!
I notice that across bases there are different behaviours between Ezy pilots, even if, I suppose, they have the same Sop. Most of the times I fly with Mxp pilots across Italy and Lgw crews in Uk. I see that Uk pilots 99,9% times perform a Cda approach, which is a little bit slower, even approaching Mxp. They usually land Flap3, Oetd and Oeta are usually done. Last they do more PAs - usually boarding, cruise, descent.
In Milan, instead, CDA is never perform, usually they level off few miles before the glide with flap1 and power on. Flap full always, usually OETA and very few PAs most of the times by the FO.
Are there different trainings over the bases?

Unable to comment specifically however OETD, OETA, flap 3 landings and CDAs will likely be at the discretion of the commander. These may vary base by base but just because something is it isn't done doesn't make it a SOP breach. Been a long time since I was in MXP but ATC can be a little rustic so getting a CDA isn't alwas possible. Training is standardised. Other niceties will depend on base depending on local procedures (eg some bases with a short taxi will rarely do a OETD as three mins are required from completion of start cycle to TO in A320) so some things may vary vastly between bases.
