Just heard from my manager come september that "Position and Hold" clearences are no longer autorized unless the facitilty can justify its use and saftey. Apperently too many controllers are forgetting about people in position and landing planes over the top I.E. SJC has had numerous incidents as had LAX not including the crash many many years ago.
However airports that can justify its use can apperently get a waiver to use the clearence. Larger facilties like Atlanta and San Fran that utitilze certain ruways for departures only should not be affected however, I could see LAX, DEN, and ORD getting hurt here because they are using same runways for departures and arrivals. Although it may make the system a tad bit safer, its just gonna slow down an out of control system already.
