I apologise for adding fuel to the fire, but its quite common at Aberdeen to be given the clearance "after the landing Jetstream line up and wait", and a Saab 2000 or Embraer flies over the threshold. "Eastflight" doesnt always mean a Jetstream.

My pet hates on the RT are "Ident you have" and the words "thats copied and understood"
Just repeat back "ident callsign" and say "roger"

From a turboprop pilots point of view asking a jet to "maintain highspeed" and asking the the turboprop to "reduce speed 180 or less" with forty track miles to go for sequencing when the jet will be wanting to slow down anyway and the turboprop would quite happily of maintained 250kts to final and the jet would not have known it was there. Just because its a jet doesnt mean its faster in the zone or that its lower so itll get there first.
