Angry Danger, Danger!

Taxi into position and hold, must be banned from the entire universe!

If I tell American pilots, to taxi to holdingposition RWY 17, 50% of them will reply:"Taxi into position and hold!"

Dagerous!!!

Why the word wait! I\'ll tell you why!
If you tell an a\\c to line up, he could come back and say:"Are we cleared for take off?" Often when you do not need any questions, because you are busy with other things!

If you tell him to wait, he knows that there will be a short delay.

What about this one:

"BEHIND landing Airbus 340, line up and wait BEHIND"

Why the behind x 2? Because one is not enough! I have heard about pilots entering the rwy, even though they answerd line up behind!
