If the hold isn't issued and things don't go as expected and comm is lost,
then you have an airplane coming in the airspace unwanted, but at a known
and predictable time since you are tracking it on radar.


Not issuing the hold was not part of any scenario.

It was exactly the scenario YOU posted and I replied to. Nice of you to
trim the posts so as to lose the context. As a reminder, here is what
you posted on 9/24/2007 at 9:22 PM:

"Well, if things don't go as expected, what do you think can cause the
greater problem, not issuing the EFC, or not issuing the hold? "

What part of "or not issuing the hold?" didn't you understand when you
wrote it?
