scanscanscan- any ATC who does not specify a direction of turn, or says "track direct" without specifying the turn, if there is any chance of ambiguity, is a dill.
druckmefunk- this info is what I had suspected, and why we need to alter the instruction to get more precision (if we are running 10nm in trail, continuing out like that burns a slot- see my earlier).
I just wanted to make sure we weren't stuffing something up if we gave you heading instructions whilst you were in a hold.
Thanks for the input everyone. Happy holding
