Would that be the company or the type?!!
Letīs say they fly faster than the others. For the sake of expanation, last week, on Alicante Aproach:
ATC: "TransaviaXXXX speedback 250 knots" (FL140, 20 miles to IAF Vilna)
Pilot: "eer, who is our preceding traffic?
ATC: "At 12 of your position, 6 milles, lower level, an 737 from EasyJet"
Pilot: "Oh,...but, we can pass them easyly, he he he?
ATC: "Negative sirs, they are closer and lower and you are number 4 now. Please, speedback 240 knots or less"
Pilot: "Roger"
My foul, didnīt ask for a read back. The transavia didnīt slowed down and had to give him vectors to the localizer.
It is just an example. Donīt mind that everyone flies like that, but I have the feeling that their company limitations are less restrictive than others.
