RPT's operating into the CTAF

G'day,

Just a quick question about RPTs. In Broome these guys (well QF, Virgin and skywest) call at 150nm, then get updated traffic at 30nm and then make a 10 mile call then a 5nm and 3nm final call... and occassionally a one mile final.

My question is when these guys are operating into a CTAF where there is no traffic service when do these guys call? obviously 10nm would be way to close seeing as these guys are doing nearly 3 miles a minute?..
