Routine

Maybe the fact that the S.A.A. A319 and the likes of B.A. /Comair fly to about 9 different destinations in their own back yard, generally in good weather with relaxed ( but professional) A.T.C help.
Lets see the pressure on the likes of Ryan air pilots. Number of destinations, weather at dest. VERY demanding A.T.C min. separation, traffic ahead, traffic behind, speed up, slow down, take high speed turn of etc, etc, etc, As we all know, a nice approach leads to a nice landing.
Clear me to land at 10 miles I might be able to do it more regularly as well.

Well that’s my excuse!!
