unless somebody recently found a solution to the original problem in CoD's first release, i think you are describing a different issue
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
