I am with Silberfuchs on the holds....and I am also sick of all the vectors.
Bedder....I take all your points but humbly submit that you should do some work on using the holds as a more efficient method of crisis management, at least during the rush hours.
In the old days when we could read the tea leaves and think ahead we used to do it ourselves.
Study the data and work out how to use the holds...ultimately IMHO it would lower the stress levels for everyone.
That said...given the cards you are dealt, I doff my hat.
There is too much static on the ground but given the fact that, for most these days, English is not the lingua franca, I do not see how this this can be avoided.
As my old man used to impart...say what you mean and mean what you say...in as few words as possible.
