That is what's happening. The pilots of all those air carrier jets

Traffic flows are dictated by air carrier needs because they're the biggest
users.


Some time back, in a different thread (about angelflight) you stated
that angelflight did not get any priority, and continued to say that
aircraft are handled on a first-come first-served basis. Your statement
above seems to contradict that (otherwise I could just be scooted in
front of the next jet that's not there yet).


Well, how often is an air carrier flying low enough to be in approach
airspace for an airport they're not landing at? Gets back to "they
have to deal with arrivals, not throughflights".
