Diane,

That is something I wondered about before, and I'm glad you pointed it out that the fifties do not include hold times.  The LD I rode in had a 40 minute hold.  Of course Being a first timer, I misunderstood everything and ended up not starting my hold for over 30 minutes....yikes... Live an learn.  Thanks for pointing out that the 50's reported times did not include hold times & ld does.  Yet another need for consistancy.
