My take on CoD...

at initial release with cod when you were flying a mission (or simply a free flight) with friendly ai aircraft in your same group (with you as leader) and you then proceeded to land at a friendly airbase, your AI squad mates would usually one by one fly into the ground and crash in some vague attempt at landing in the same area. none of this uses or requires waypoints.

this rarely happens since last years patches (august 2012 patches onwards), and iirc luthier made statements some of the AI incorrect behavior was reduced, but they couldnt fix many other problems still being reported with AI (like not following correct commands on bombing missions etc) unless they did a full rewrite of the AI routines (which was never done before the CoD project was abandoned)

at least that's how i remember events

That seems odd Zapatista, AI will never land unless told to do so via a waypoint. I have many hours with the early game and not one AI landing accident.
