I disagree with this one. If you don't go to another airport, you are
disobeying a direct order from ATC. I prefer to give the pilot the option
of the Rush Lake hold, the Green Lake hold, or diversion at the pilot's
option. All questions of the nature "how long will the hold be" are
answered the same way, "the hold is indefinite ... there has been an
accident at Oshkosh airport."

Good catch, Jim. I think there should be something to dissuade people
from holding, though. It leads to the problems we witnessed this year
and creates a false impression that the airport will be opening soon.
