"Poz and Hold" versus "On the Hold"

[Data]

So is this a little rivalry between Air Force and Navy over at Delta?

Always thought the AF lingo was "On to Hold". On the other hand I say "on the deck" when calling in for gate verification. Too much Joint indoctrination I Guess.

I'm not even getting the question right, I just assumed they were saying "on the hold"...

On to Hold is slang and is a bad habit. Sounds too much like On to Go, or some other iteration. It makes good sense to speak clearly and slowly and acknowledge "Rwy xx, Taxi into Position and Hold, ," or if international "Line up and Wait, Rwy xx."

"Line up and wait" is soon to be standard here in the U.S. More assimilation to ICAO standards.

What you probably heard was me on one of my last flights....muttering "I'm too old."

I'm sorry but in ICAO the instruction is only "Line up" they don't say "and wait" because it is evident you are going to wait since you haven't been cleared for T/O

That's odd. I've been told to line up and wait in for the past five months in China, Japan, Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam . . .

Yeah, because you keep reading back "and wait" so they figure you need the clarification:laugh:

Next thing you'll try to tell me Jimi wasn't singing, "Scuse me while I kiss this guy."
