I just received an email from my FBO, who received word from ATC at our
class C airport, that the FAA is phasing out the "position and hold"
instruction "to try to curb the runway incursions and controller errors."

Oh man, that is really going to screw up departures at AirVenture!

They get special rules written specifically for the event. Planes two wide
and three deep in position and hold is certainly unique,
