Mount Pleasant Complex is primarily a military base, not a normal civilian airport. That explains almost everything you’re experiencing. Civilian flights are effectively guests on a military base

MoD flights are managed by the Military on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. They use a larger aircraft where check in can take 10 minutes in the same process described for the Saturday flight. 190 people can easily be processed in about 60 minutes with none of the friction that is added by the private company managing the security.
