Earnest,
I completely agree with you about the PP.
If you ever fly in Delhi or Mumbai, you'd know from experience that usually one orbit becomes a few and RT can be so busy that you cant get word across to the ATC requesting holding. Now add Monsoon weather to it and you have your hands full. This is the reason I prefer FMGS to keep my hands free so that I can work the Wx Radar, hold my tea while we are being bounced around and try to get a word across to ATC when I can.
Happy landings
