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

Last Friday afternoon (10 MAR 2006) I was holding short at 17L at PWA, while a
Hawker was on short final. As he touchdown, the tower told me to taxi into
position and hold. I guess we haven't got the word. It was Friday afternoon
and from the sound of things, I think he was the only one in the cab. The
bus-jet were coming home for the weekend and the recreation pilots were get out
of town for the weekend, and we were closed pattern on 17R, and a T-6 from Vance
AFB did a missed approach. The controller was doing a good job of handling the
traffic and TIPH just another tool to get everybody taken care of.
