5Miles,
Really shouldn't take too long, as long as the holding out fix is within the current FMS route 'legs'. It helps significantly, if when instructed to hold out, you state the holding axis and turn direction when you give the initial instruction. You're validated on the airspace and know it backwards, we don't........
Northerner,
I must admit, I find TC sectors cross-coupled on FAR too many occasions. For me TC Midlands is a prime example, often even when busy. I know you're damn good at your work (I mean that), but what might give geta cause for pride in such a high workload and RT load really doesn't necessarily mean giving the best level of service. Please split the sectors earlier!!
As far as LACC is concerned, far to many times I find 25/26 crosscoupled when really it should be split. Again, please split it!!
