Only after the other traffic was out of the way. IF [the
unknown none of us know] the plane was a 5 minute out
straight in to 17 and it would take 11 minutes to clear all
the other airplanes out of the way, a hold would be
required.

What was the traffic count and where was each airplane,
which way do you turn them so they don't collide with the
airplane in distress or each other, what traffic was at the
other airports on the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and how would it
be effected?

So far, only the President of the United States gets
airspace that clear, all the time.
