XL319 ... Completley agree with you PA28 holding at foxtrot ready for departure, you literally won't go until there zone is completley empty its a disgrace I think. I once orbited for 25 mins whilst 6 aircraft took off (backtracking down to 25 as taxiway D was being resurfaced) and 4 aircraft landed. This resulted in me being 20 mins over my hour thus paying £44 extra and they still took my £18 off me for that. They even have the cheek sometimes to say over the radio "Golf India Fox very sorry for your wait we'll get you in as soon as we can" it just irritates me lol especially when I'm orbiting a mile or 2 away and could be landed and vacated in 2/3 mins MAX and the nearest airline is on base 10 miles away.
