FAA to be phasing out "position and hold" in the US

Nope, hadn't. OP mentioned SYR, whereas the post I referenced
said it was going to go away in Sacramento. I'm wondering what airports
in Sacramento, as there has been no-one mentioning anything about it at
Executive, Mather, or the school at Rancho Murieta.
I was the OP, Brad. Again, the source of this was an email I received
from my FBO at the class C airport, and this email came on the heels of a
meeting with local ATC.
Local ATC presented this issue to our FBO mgmt as P&H is going away at ALL
towered airports US-wide sometime this year due to the fact that the FAA
believes the risks of a runway incursions is not worth the time saved.
Obviously this is not "directly from the horse's mouth," so take it as you
may. I suggest watching your AOPA and Avweb email newsletters for more
information, since something of this magnitude would be newsworthy.
