Considering the lack of space for us pilots and ATCOs, my practice has been to avoid the problem by having and briefing a clear route free of weather in or out of the terminal area. I have have bad memories of holding much too close to weather on the arrivals to KATL, too many times. One particularly bad afternoon at SINCA where the pax had all their window shades down after we landed. The TMA is just too compact.

I do agree with A7700, it's better than keeping your maneuver a a secret. BTW, I fly a Global, so I have more flex than you airline types
