HD,
We have our own holding patterns as part of our EOSID so no need for us to travel across to the ones published on the STAR.
Generally, unless they have had to design something otherwise due to terrain it would be on runway heading and then into the hold. They have been very good and had all of this coded into FMS and LPC database for us.
For the more "interesting" EOSIDs we also get a charted version of the procedure.
*As we are reminded on all of our company information, ATC are not aware of these procedures as they are company specific and ATC must be informed what we WILL be doing.
