Don't forget also that TP's are flying at lower approach speeds and so you have more time to anticipate, prepare and correct while in a jet everyhting goes fast!
Well... Below FL100 speeds are pretty much the same with jets&heavy TP's. We actually often fly past jets with TP at around 10mile final during parallel approaches. Yes, they may come past again in around 4miles (especially heavies) but come on, you think that extra 15-20seconds before touchdown shared in those four miles is critically more demanding or gives you sense that you need some overnatural anticipation skills?!
