Which is sometimes the hardest part.Watching the thread and the comments on both sides, this strikes me as purely a technique issue. As a lowly piston pilot I don't fly STARs regularly but it seems the equivalent of "expect [the] IF straight in" on an approach. Do we keep the hold loaded until we get cleared straight in or or delete in now? No big deal either way. The only right answer is that a 2 pilot crew needs to be on the same page.
