To preclude two aircraft having the same EAT, new EATs shall be issued from ____.

The idea being tested is how to stagger ETAs for multiple aircraft in a holding pattern so they don’t end up with the same time. Do it from the top of the hold to the bottom by giving the aircraft at the top the latest feasible ETA, then assign progressively earlier ETAs to the ones below. This creates a clear, non-overlapping ladder of times, ensuring each aircraft has a unique ETA as they progress through the hold. For example, if the top aircraft can be assigned 12:35, the next gets 12:34, and the one after 12:33; you maintain separation and avoid duplicates.
