If your company has chosen a policy, it really doesn't matter too much. Operating into the shorter runway at BRU with one aircraft 3.75 NM ahead and another 3.75 NM behind was another matter. Delay braking to take high speed taxiway at a reasonable clip. If any aircraft did otherwise under these conditions go-around were guaranteed.
It was obvious that our little airline got preferential treatment fro ATC as a result. Those preferences were worth a lot more than a bit of brake or engine wear.
