My soon to be DE who flys for ATA told me he has only been told to hold
4 times in his entire career... Maybe the big boys don't get holds as
much as us little guys... JK


Depends. When I've flown trips at night & especially during the inbound rush,
holds were common. About once every other month. But they were much easier
with direct entries and 2+ minute legs and autopilot. Usually 2 or 3 circuits
& we were done.
