There was a thread just a week or two ago about "position and hold" at
CDW. Caldwell is a smallish but very busy towered field where almost
all the traffic is trainers in the pattern, coming and going to the
practice area, or doing practice instrument approaches.

The usual deal is closed traffic and arrivals on 4 or 22, and
departures off 27. The put you in position on 27, engineer a gap in
the pattern, and shoot you out through that gap. There's virtually
never any arrivals on 27. In a situation like that, I can't see how
position and hold on 27 could possibly be a bad thing.

It's the FAA squashing ants with a sledgehammer again.
