From the BA perspective it sounds as though we are flying to the same gates as EZY (should be stable at 1000', must be stable at 500') so i'm surprised if one company is significantly more conservative than the other. Both clearly have a good culture and safety monitoring program so will not bust the 500' gate.

based on watching 10/20 A319s per hour every workday for as long as I care to remember, (many)Easyjet pilots are much more conservative at applying 160 to 4/170 to 5 than BA.

Obviously that's not at BCN so sorry for the thread drift.
