I have a similar question from the other end... sometimes, when we check in with tower, we are told simply to "continue" apparently because they want to allow a departure or two before we land. Fine. However, the majority of airports that I operate into don't do this and I routinely get cleared to land on the initial check-in.

For example, Raliegh-Durham will never clear us to land if there is a prior departure. However, San Diego does this routinely.

Is there a rule about this or is it just facility policy?
